Henry Pollock will start at No. 8 for England against Japan on Saturday in the Nations Championship while Max Ojomoh, Will Joseph and George Ford have also been given the nod as Steve Borthwick makes 10 changes from the team that beat Australia last weekend.
England have a six-day turnaround after defeating the Wallabies 45-22 at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, last Sunday but that win came at a cost with several players sidelined. Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Seb Atkinson, Ollie Chessum and George Furbank were all injured in the match. England have also confirmed Tom Curry will also miss the rest of the November programme.
Pollock played the second half of last Sunday's match against the Wallabies on the wing, but he's back in his usual spot in the back-row and starts at No .8 against Japan.
Ellis Genge, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Asher Opoku-Fordjour all start in the front-row as they replace Fin Baxter, Jamie George and Joe Heyes, while George Martin partners Maro Itoje at lock.
Alex Coles shifts to blindside to replace the injured Chessum with Ben Earl moving to openside in Ben Curry's spot.
Jack van Poortvliet continues at scrum-half where he partners Ford at half-back. Cadan Murley gets his chance on the wing with Will Joseph on the other flank, while Ojomoh links up with Henry Slade in the centres. Freddie Steward replaces Furbank at fullback.
Borthwick has made further changes to the bench with Theo Dan, Emmanuel Iyogun, Arthur Clark and Archie McParland coming into the squad. Heyes, Ben Curry, Greg Fisilau and Marcus Smith complete the replacements.

"Japan are a very well-coached side who will challenge us in different ways, and we know we'll need to bring intensity throughout the game," Borthwick said.
"The atmosphere at Allianz Stadium last week was incredible. The players really fed off the energy in the stadium, and we're really looking forward to being back on Saturday."
McParland will make his England debut if given a chance from the bench.
"We're all delighted for Archie," Borthwick said.
'He's had some bad luck with injury, so it's especially pleasing to be able to name him in an England matchday 23 for the first time. He's an outstanding young talent who has worked hard to get to this point, and we're all excited to see how he goes."
