England Harry Randall replacing veteran scrum-half Ben Youngs |
Two-position changes saw Joe Marchant start in the middle of the perimeter, while Maro Itoje slid to the flank in the absence of the injured Lewis Ludlam.
Hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie was on the seat with limited
preparation time after a 20-17 loss to Scotland - in which he made a
game-changing mistake.
Leicester striker Ollie Chessam could make his debut from the
bench, while flanker Tom Curry will once again be captain with Owen Farrell and
Courtney Lawes injured.
In the halftime of the scrum substitution, Youngs waited for
his chance to join Jason Leonard, who has made 114 appearances, as England's most
capacious men's player ever.
England team to face
Italy: Steward;
Malins, Marchant, Genge, George, Stuart, Ewels, Isiekwe, Slade, Nowell; Smith,
Curry (capt.), Dombrandt, Randall, Itoje.
Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Chessum, Simmonds,
Youngs, Marler, Sinckler, Ford, Daly.
'Livewire' Randall
Head coach Eddie Jones has been named on his team to "enlighten"
Rome and believes his young players will.
Bristol's 24th Randall put on a quick match and electric run,
while Dombrandt, also 24, got an opportunity to evidence himself after Sam
Simmonds started against Scotland.
Marchand in the latest
centre experiment
Marchant will be paired up with Henry Slade in midfield in
Jones' latest trial as he seeks to remedy Manu Tuilagi's absence.
According to Jones, Tuilagi came back for sale on Sunday but
is not yet ready for a rugby test.
Braam Steyn starts for Italy |
Jones turned to Marchand after the grouping of Slade and Elliott Daly failed to impress in Scotland.
The Harlequins defender finds success with Slade as Marchant
takes centre stage after Tuilagi was injured in England's game against South
Africa in November.
Steyn starts for Italy
For Italy, Sebastian Negri has been struggling to the seat as
South African-born winger Braam Steyn has been added to the starting grid.
Winger Tommaso Menoncello - Italy's lone goal scorer to win
over France - starts with Frederico Mori and Pietro Ceccarelli was completely
ruled out when he got to the front row.
Highly regarded Paolo Garbisi started off with a flying half,
paired with Welsh-born Gloucester scrum halftime Stephen Varney.
Italy: Padovani; Mori, Varney; Fischetti,
Lucchesi, Ceccarelli, Brex, Zanon, Ioane; Lamaro (capt.), Halafihi; Garbisi,
Cannone, Ruzza, Steyn.
Replacements: Faiva, Sisi, Negri, Pettinelli,
Traore, Pasquali, Fusco, Marin.
