BATH prop David Wilson has returned to the bench for England for Saturday's QBE International against New Zealand at Twickenham.
Wilson, 28, started last weekend's 31-12 victory over Argentina, but swaps places with Leicester's Dan Cole at tighthead in the only change made by head coach Stuart Lancaster.
Joe Marler has successfully completed his return to play protocols after being concussed against the Pumas so continues at loosehead, packing down alongside Dylan Hartley who wins his 50th cap.
There are three changes to the bench with Matt Mullan profiting from England's injury problems at loosehead to offer cover for Marler.
Both Alex Corbisiero and Mako Vunipola have been ruled out with knee complaints, giving Mullan the opportunity to win his second cap after making his debut in the 2010 RBS 6 Nations.
Ben Youngs returns to the replacements after overcoming his hip problem with Danny Care dropping out of the 23 altogether.
There are seven survivors from the XV that demolished New Zealand 38-21 at Twickenham last autumn in Cole, Joe Launchbury, Tom Wood, Chris Robshaw, Owen Farrell, Mike Brown and Ashton.
That defeat was the All Blacks' only loss in 33 matches dating back to August 2011 - the year they won the World Cup. They are seeking a 13th successive victory this year.
England are looking to complete a 10th win in 11 matches and their seventh consecutive triumph at Twickenham.
Bath's Paul James has also been named on the bench for Wales' clash with Argentina at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday, with clubmates Horacio Agulla and Eusebio Guinazu included in the Pumas' starting XV.
