Worsley has been in outstanding form for Wasps

Worsley - who missed the game with Canada because of a dead leg - replaces Gloucester's Andy Hazell in the only change to the side.

Leicester scrum-half Harry Ellis is back on the bench after an Achilles problem, displacing Hall Charlton.

"We expect South Africa to offer very tough opposition," said England coach Andy Robinson.

Centre Will Greenwood is included in the squad as a replacement despite taking a knock during Saturday's comfortable 70-0 victory, and coach Robinson said he was happy with how that game had gone.

"I think it is right to keep faith with a largely unchanged side this week," he said.

"I welcome Joe back into the starting XV, and Harry on the bench," said Robinson.

The experienced Worsley, who was one of England's World Cup winners a year ago, had originally been selected to start against Canada but was forced to pull out due to injury.

Sale full-back Jason Robinson ran in three tries against Canada in his first match as captain, and in the continued absence of Jonny Wilkinson, the coach confirmed he would remain as skipper.

"Jason gave an inspirational performance, " he said.

South Africa will have a double incentive to do well next Saturday.

Having scraped past Wales 38-36 in the opening Test of the tour, they will be looking to restore their pride after losing 17-12 to Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.

And they have also lost their last five games against England, including a crushing 53-3 defeat on their last visit to Twickenham two years ago, and going down 25-6 in last year's World Cup.
