Gloucester wing James Simpson-Daniel will make his Test debut when England tackle Tri-Nations champions New Zealand at Twickenham on Saturday.

The 20-year-old from Stockton gains a rapid reward for some superb Premiership displays and is the solitary newcomer named by England boss Clive Woodward.

Leicester and Lions flanker Neil Back, who captained England for part of last season's Six Nations campaign, misses out behind a back row of Lewis Moody, Richard Hill and Lawrence Dallaglio. Hill will become the 12th member of England's 50-cap club.

Elsewhere Matt Dawson has won the scrum-half battle - Austin Healey is named on the bench, not Andy Gomarsall.

Bath captain Danny Grewcock edges out Ben Kay to partner skipper Martin Johnson in the second row while Gloucester prop Trevor Woodman wins his sixth cap, but his first appearance in an England starting line-up.

England: Robinson (Sale Sharks); J Simpson-Daniel (Gloucester), W Greenwood (Harlequins), M Tindall (Bath), B Cohen (Northampton); J Wilkinson (Newcastle), M Dawson (Northampton); T Woodman (Gloucester), S Thompson (Northampton), P Vickery (Gloucester), M Johnson (Leicester, capt), D Grewcock (Bath), L Moody (Leicester), R Hill (Saracens), L Dallaglio (Wasps).

Replacements: M Regan (Leeds), J Leonard (Harlequins), B Kay (Leicester), N Back (Leicester), A Healey (Leicester), B Johnston (Saracens), T Stimpson (Leicester).
