England team to face South Africa
James Haskell is recalled to the side in the only change to the England lineup.
I’m not sure Tom Croft deserved to be dropped with Nick Easter retained. Jordan Crane comes onto the bench at the expense of Michael Lipman.
England: Armitage; Sackey, Noon, Flutey, Monye; Cipriani, Care; Sheridan, Mears, Vickery, Borthwick (capt), Palmer, Haskell, Rees, Easter.
Replacements: Hartley, Stevens, Shaw, Croft, Crane, Ellis, Flood.

I agree. Harsh on Croft, but hopefully Haskell will shake things up a bit. It doesn’t feel like we need to do anything too drastic, so maybe a minor tweak here and there will do the trick.
