England have made a single alteration to the starting side that beat France, with Ollie Chessum replacing club colleague George Martin in the second row, while the Fin Smith and Marcus Smith playmaking axis is retained. Six forwards are named on a bench that provided a significant impact in their last outing, though Martin is not among them - the Leicester lock is out with a knock so Ted Hill is primed for a first international appearance in nearly four years.
