Dallaglio returns to the England 22 for the first time since 2004

Martin Corry will captain the side, with Joe Worsley and Lewis Moody joining him in England's back row.

Mike Tindall and Jamie Noon continue their partnership in the centre with Harry Ellis at scrum-half.

Coach Andy Robinson makes three changes from last time out with Ellis, Worsley and prop Matt Stevens the new faces.

Ellis edges out Matt Dawson from the XV which started the 23-19 defeat by New Zealand in November, while Stevens comes in for the injured Phil Vickery and Worsley replaces another injury victim, Pat Sanderson, on the blind-side flank.

Team guide: England

Dallaglio, 33, last appeared in an England shirt in 2004 before retiring for family reasons.

He returned to the international scene for last year's ill-fated Lions tour, only to find his tour ended in the first game by a serious ankle injury, and made himself available for England selection again at the start of this season.

During his absence Corry has become a fixture as England's number eight and Dallaglio has lost out to Wasps team-mate Worsley in the battle for the blind-side flanker's spot.

However, he has beaten off the challenges of Sale's Chris Jones and Gloucester's James Forrester to win a place among the replacements.

There are some positives in this side although the centres do look dodgy From DS

Tindall and Noon's centre partnership has been criticised as one-dimensional but once Olly Barkley dislocated his thumb earlier this month Robinson clearly felt he had few other options.

Josh Lewsey, tipped as a possible centre, continues at full-back with Tom Voyce edging James Simpson-Daniel for a place on the bench.

Leicester fly-half Andy Goode is also on the bench and will act as the back-up kicker to Hodgson, who is one point short of 200 in Test rugby.
