Head coach Steve Borthwick has made four changes to the England starting XV to face the world champion Springboks at Twickenham on Saturday.
The changes to the run-on side that lost to Australia in London last week include the recall of wing Ollie Sleightholme, scrumhalf Jack van Poortvliet, fullback Freddie Steward, and flanker Sam Underhill.
Jamie George will lead England supported by four vice-captains: Maro Itoje, Ben Earl, Ellis Genge, and George Ford.

Meanwhile, wing Tom Roebuck is included among the replacements.
“We’re excited to challenge ourselves against the world’s top-ranked team and back-to-back World Cup champions,” said Borthwick.
“Test matches against South Africa are always thrilling contests, and I’m sure Saturday will be no exception.”
