England have made three personnel changes for Saturday's Six Nations clash with France at Twickenham with Fin Smith, Ollie Sleightholme and Tom Willis all starting while Marcus Smith is shifted to fullback.
The changes mean Freddie Steward, Ben Curry and the injured Cadan Murley all drop out of the starting XV.
Steve Borthwick's switches see Fin Smith starting at fly-half, as ESPN reported on Wednesday, while Marcus Smith will start at fullback.
Sleightholme replaces Murley on the wing, with Steward -- who started in England's 27-22 defeat to Ireland -- dropping out of the matchday squad.
In the back-row, Willis starts at No. 8 with Tom Curry at blindside and Ben Earl at openside flanker. Ben Curry drops to the bench where he is joined by returning hooker Jamie George and Elliot Daly.
"England versus France is an incredible fixture to be involved in," Borthwick said in a news release.
"We're looking forward to being back at Allianz Stadium in front of our home supporters, for what I am sure will be a great game of rugby."
England:
Ellis Genge, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Will Stuart, Maro Itoje, George Martin, Tom Curry, Tom Willis, Ben Earl, Alex Mitchell, Fin Smith, Ollie Sleightholme, Henry Slade, Ollie Lawrence, Tommy Freeman, Marcus Smith.
