Eddie Jones has dropped Ellis Genge and Luke Cowan-Dickie to the bench for England’s clash with world champions South Africa on Saturday.
The front row duo are replaced in the starting line-up by Mako Vunipola and Jamie George, who is still recovering from two broken bones in his foot. Northampton’s Tommy Freeman comes in on the right wing in place of Jack Nowell to win only his third cap, with Alex Coles replacing Sam Simmonds at blindside.
England have won only five of 12 matches played this year and are desperate to pick up from where they left off in the last 10 minutes against New Zealand last weekend.
