Scrum-half Dan Robson is in line for his international debut having been retained in the 25.
Owen Farrell is also included having recovered from a hand injury.
No Ben Te'o, Joe Cokanasiga or Brad Shields for their Dublin trip this weekend.

Not having Te'o throws a spanner in the works.
Do you shift Manu to 12, revert to the Ford-Farrell axis or go without a ball carrying centre altogether?
