Mike Catt's promising World Cup form has been rewarded with the Bath centre clinching a place in England's starting line-up for the World Cup semi-final against France on Sunday.
Catt has clinched a midfield place alongside Will Greenwood following his performance as a second-half substitute during the quarter-final victory over Wales last weekend.
Catt's Bath team-mate Mike Tindall has been relegated to the bench as one of five changes, which includes the positional switch of Jason Robinson from full-back to wing.
Josh Lewsey has recovered from a hamstring problem to reclaim the number 15 jersey, while two changes in the pack see Gloucester prop Trevor Woodman preferred to Jason Leonard and flanker Richard Hill in the back row instead of Lewis Moody.
Hill has missed the last four World Cup games because of a hamstring injury, but he is now fit to pack down alongside his long-time back-row colleagues Neil Back and Lawrence Dallaglio.
Leonard, who is on the bench, will win a world record 112th Test cap if he is required at any stage of Sunday's action. Leonard would overtake Frenchman Philippe Sella, having drawn level with him when he started against Wales.
Also among the replacements are Moody, Kyran Bracken and Bath's Iain Balshaw. Balshaw has been troubled by a sore knee, but he came through a fitness test yesterday, along with Lewsey, to feature in England's 22.
