The London Irish winger Topsy Ojo will make his Test debut against New Zealand on Saturday in an England team featuring 14 changes from the World Cup final.
Loose-head prop Andrew Sheridan is the only survivor from England's defeat to South Africa in Paris, and there are also 11 changes from England's last international, the 33-11 Six Nations win over Ireland in March. Tour manager Rob Andrew has retained only Sheridan, hooker Lee Mears, captain Steve Borthwick and scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth in the line-up.
There is no place in the starting team for Mathew Tait, with Ojo and David Strettle selected on the wings, Harlequin Mike Brown at full-back and Mike Tindall back from injury at outside centre.
Olly Barkley, omitted from Six Nations selection because of off-field issues, returns at inside centre while fly-half Charlie Hodgson starts his first Test since November 2006 in the absence of Danny Cipriani and Jonny Wilkinson.
In the back row, Luke Narraway starts only his second Test at No8 with Wasps duo Tom Rees and James Haskell named on the flanks. Wasps lock Tom Palmer starts in the second row alongside captain Steve Borthwick and prop Matt Stevens is positioned at tight-head alongside Sheridan and Mears.
Injuries to Cipriani, Wilkinson, Paul Sackey, Lewis Moody, Phil Vickery, Nick Easter and Simon Shaw have forced Andrew to turn elsewhere. But England are deliberately attempting to build a new team and there are two other potential new caps on the bench in London Irish hooker David Paice and Harlequins scrum-half Danny Care.
Andrew said the squad was selected on form over the closing weeks of the Guinness Premiership season. "Most of the changes from the World Cup have been caused by players retiring or being injured," he said.
"There have been a few changes since the Six Nations, particularly in the back line, but this team has been picked on form over the last two or three months since the the end of the Six Nations."
Ojo won a close selection vote ahead of Tom Varndell when the original squad was announced and will profit from Sackey's injury-enforced absence. "If you are looking at out-and-out wingers who have performed well over the last two months, Sackey would have been here. Tom is now here [as a replacement for Sackey]. We believe Topsy has done enough to earn an opportunity to start for England," Andrew added.
Barkley will take the goal-kicking duties in the Test at Auckland's Eden Park, rather than Hodgson who was the leading kicker in the Premiership last season.
"It is not a slight on Charlie's goal-kicking but sometimes when you have a lot of things to think about in that key position, giving Charlie one less responsibility - particularly when you have such a good goal-kicker in the team as Olly - it is a good thing to do," Andrew said.
New Zealand have made just one change from last weekend's 21-11 win over Ireland, with Crusaders prop Greg Somerville, rested for last weekend's 21-11 win over Ireland, returning at tight-head in place of the injured John Afoa. There is one alteration on the bench, with loose-forward Sione Lauaki coming in for Adam Thomson. Otherwise, Henry has stuck with a settled side as the All Blacks look to continue their rebuilding programme following a disappointing World Cup.
"This is our best side right now ... We'll have to be a bit sharper if we are to defeat England. They have some very experienced internationals plus some new players coming through who might not be well known in New Zealand but will be a real challenge on Saturday."
