England coach Eddie Jones has named a strong team for their Six Nations match against Italy at Twickenham on Saturday.
There are five changes to the side that lost to Wales in Cardiff, with three in the forward pack.
Ellis Genge gets a chance to impress at loosehead prop as he replaces Ben Moon, who drops to the bench, while Joe Launchbury comes into the second row in place of the injured Courtney Lawes. Brad Shields will start at blindside flank.
In the backline, Manu Tuilagi forms a powerful midfield combination with Ben Te’o, while Joe Cokanasiga gets an opportunity on the right wing.
Nathan Hughes has been named as the lock replacement after Maro Itoje picked up a knock in training.
