Phil Vickery has been suspended for two games due to his cited trip on American centre Paul Emerick, so will now also miss the game against Samoa on Saturday week. He will be replaced by Matt Stevens at tighthead.
Former England captain and World Cup-winning player Lawrence Dallaglio and his Wasps team-mate Joe Worsley have both not been included in the squad. Full-back Mark Cueto is also left out, with Jason Robinson expected to switch from the wing to take his place.
