BEN FODEN will revert to his more familiar full-back role for England’s second Test against South Africa.
The Saints star started the first game of the three-match series on the wing with Harlequins ace Mike Brown at 15.
But Brown has been forced out of the tour due to injury, meaning Foden moves from wing to full-back, with Saracens man David Strettle coming in at 11.
Chris Ashton and Dylan Hartley will also start the clash in Johannesburg, with Phil Dowson and Lee Dickson on the bench.
Paul Doran-Jones is not in the matchday squad as his place on the replacements list is taken by Alex Corbisiero.
London Irish centre Jonathan Joseph comes in at No 13 in place of Manusamoa Tuilagi, who switches inside for Brad Barritt, while Toby Flood replaces Owen Farrell at fly half
England head coach Stuart Lancaster said: “I am delighted for JJ. He has trained very well and showed against the Barbarians and in his short time on the field in the first Test that he is ready to make the step to international rugby.
“To have two 21-year-old centres is exciting and we are looking forward to seeing this combination in action.
“Owen has had a fantastic season and I am sure he will make a significant impact from the bench. However, Toby has waited patiently for his opportunity and the time is right to allow him the chance to demonstrate his experience and skills in what will be a very tough challenge.
“It’s a shame for Mike Brown who worked hard to get that Test start but Ben Foden naturally reverts to full back and we return to the wing partnership of David Strettle and Chris Ashton that serves us well in the RBS 6 Nations.”
