Six players including the debutant hooker Tom Youngs will make their first England starts at Twickenham against Fiji on Saturday.

Stuart Lancaster has named a starting XV with an average of just 14 caps per man for the opening match of the QBE autumn international series.

Lancaster has also selected two more uncapped 21-year-olds, Mako Vunipola and Joe Launchbury, on the bench, while the reserve hooker David Paice has collected just two previous replacement caps in New Zealand four and a half years ago.

There are 10 survivors, however, from the team who drew 10-10 against South Africa in the third Test in Port Elizabeth in June. Danny Care and Alex Goode retain their places at scrum-half and full-back respectively, with Exeter's Tom Johnson and Leicester's Thomas Waldrom resuming alongside the captain Chris Robshaw in the back row.
