Jack van Poortvliet replaces Ben Youngs in the England team to face New Zealand.

Sam Simmonds is the blindside flanker with Maro Itoje coming back to the second row.

Owen Farrell has won his 100th England cap inside Tuilagi.

There is a back-row cover on the bench.

Three years ago, England defeated New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals in Yokohama, Japan, to win the title.

Eddie Jones said that the games are the ones that players remember in their careers.

The players have a chance to play their part in history as New Zealand have had the upper hand over the years.

The team is ready to play and has had a great week of preparation.

Van Poortvliet has had an impressive autumn so far.

He scored a try within seconds of coming off the bench in the defeat by Argentina before helping Jones' side to a 52-13 win over Japan the next day.

As Jones searches for more ball-carrying options, the specialist number eight has been shifted to blindside.

Nowell was unable to play in the win over Japan due to an abdominal injury.

The second rower, who was suspended for a red card in the win over Japan, was back in the starting line up.

Farrell will get to 100 caps with the appearance of the 31 year old.

In the wake of the 31-23 win over Scotland, Ian Foster has made a number of changes to his backline.

Jordie, who played 15 at Murrayfield, is in the middle with Rieko Ioane, while the scrum-half is named in the team.

England: Nowell, Tuilagi, Farrell, May, Smith, Van Poortvliet, Genge, Cowan-Dickie, Sinckler, Itoje and Hill.

George, Stuart, Ribbans, Youngs, and Porter are replacements.

Whitelock (c), Papali'i, Savea, and De Groot were all born in New Zealand.

There are replacements for Frizzell, Sotutu, Perenara, and Havili.
