England make wholesale changes

England's stand-in rugby union manager Rob Andrew has made five changes to the back division for the second tour match against New Zealand.

Winger Topsy Ojo and centre Mike Tindall are the only survivors from the first match in Auckland, which England lost 37-20.

Danny Care will start an international match for the first time at scrum-half, while Toby Flood plays at fly-half and Jamie Noon replaces Olly Barkley in the centre.

Mathew Tait will start at full-back and Tom Varndell will play his first game for England in two years.

Andrew said: "The selection of Noon at inside centre is about combinations and the physical threat that is posed by New Zealand in that area of the field and what we need to do to challenge New Zealand.

"There were lots of areas where we thought we matched them, we felt the midfield was probably the area where the game was won and lost."

Andrew will also use the match to help decide whch players will be included in next season's elite player squad when they are chosen on July 1.

Andrew added: "We said we would look at what happened and decide what we felt we needed to do.

"We also want to decide which players we wanted to have a look at, particularly in the back line, with one eye on the announcement on July 1."

Wasps loosehead prop Tim Payne replaces Andrew Sheridan in the front row.

There is no place in the match 22 for fly-half Charlie Hodgson.
