Owen Farrell in for injured Flood as England fly-half

Owen Farrell will start at fly-half in place of the injured Toby Flood as England make one change for Saturday's final autumn Test, against New Zealand.

Flood's toe injury means 21-year-old Farrell, who is on a four-man shortlist for the International Rugby Board Player of the Year award, starts for the first time since the summer tour.

There are two changes on the bench.

Fly-half Freddie Burns gets his first call-up and lock Courtney Lawes is back for the first time since February.

Last five Twickenham meetings

  • 2010: England 16-26 New Zealand
  • 2009: England 6-19 New Zealand
  • 2008: England 6-32 New Zealand
  • 2006: England 20-41 New Zealand
  • 2005: England 19-23 New Zealand

"We are delighted that Courtney has got an opportunity. He has worked hard to get back in contention and what better game for him to make an impact," said England head coach Stuart Lancaster.

"The same with Freddie Burns, who has had a great Premiership season so far, and we are looking forward to seeing him contribute should he get his chance."

Northampton second row Lawes, who replaces Saracens lock Mouritz Botha, has been battling a series of injuries over the past year and the 23-year-old last played for England against Wales in the Six Nations.

He damaged his knee against Saracens on 27 October but was on the field for nearly an hour for Saints in their Premiership win over London Welsh last Saturday.

Gloucester's Burns, 22, has been in excellent form for the Cherry and Whites this season, earning plaudits for his attacking style and improved game management, and takes Farrell's place on the bench.

Willem Alberts scores a try for South Africa

England 15-16 South Africa - match highlights

Prop Alex Corbisiero did not train on Tuesday but has shaken off a knee problem to be named in the side.

England go into the game against the world champion All Blacks on the back of two defeats, with a disappointing 20-14 defeat by Australia followed up by a frustrating 16-15 loss to South Africa.

"We asked for a big response from the players after Australia and we got one last Saturday against South Africa, although ultimately we were denied," said Lancaster.

"That frustration has been channelled this week and the whole squad has reacted with a determination to get a victory against the top team in the world."

The All Blacks, unbeaten in 20 Tests since the start of their victorious World Cup campaign last September, anticipate a "huge battle" at Twickenham but have not lost in their last five visits to London.

Their previous defeat, in 2002, was the last time they lost a Test on tour in Europe, and the world champions have won the last nine encounters between the two countries.
