Eddie Jones named the England side who will take on the world champions at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 20 November (5:15 pm).
Courtney Lawes (blindside flanker) will captain the side for a second time. Tom Curry (No. 8) and Henry Slade (outside centre) will be vice-captains.
Jamie Blamire will start as a hooker, with props Bevan Rodd and Kyle Sinckler joining him in the front row. Locks Maro Itoje and Jonny Hill complete the tight five and Sam Underhill is at open-side flanker.
Joe Marchant returns to the side on the right-wing, Jonny May is on the left-wing and Freddie Steward is at full-back.
Manu Tuilagi is at inside centre, Marcus Smith is at fly-half, and the side’s most capped-player Ben Youngs is at scrum-half.
Hooker Nic Dolly could make his England debut, as he is named as a finisher – alongside Joe Marler, Will Stuart, Charlie Ewels, Sam Simmonds, Alex Dombrandt, Raffi Quirke and Max Malins.
Eddie Jones said: “This is our biggest game of the season and the final game of the autumn campaign and we want to finish with a bang.
“We’ve been really pleased with the preparation this week and how the team has continued to develop over the past month.
“Now we want to put on our best performance this autumn in front of a capacity 82,000 crowd at Twickenham.”
