Loose forward Simon Parker also returns to the starting 15, with Josh Lord and Wallace Sititi now dropping down to the bench.<\/p>\n
Billy Proctor is at outside centre, pulling on the No 13 shirt he has worn in seven Tests previously this year.<\/p>\n
The experienced Anton Lienert-Brown will provide midfield cover for Proctor and starting inside centre Quinn Tupaea, with Leicester Fainga’anuku moving out to the wing after Caleb Clarke was ruled out with concussion.<\/p>\n
Jordie Barrett, Scott’s brother, remains at fly-half, with Damian McKenzie again among the replacements.<\/p>\n
He came off the bench to score a key try and a penalty last weekend at Murrayfield that edged New Zealand ahead after Scotland had fought back to 17-17 from 17-0 behind at half-time.<\/p>\n
New Zealand have won 36 of 46 Tests against England, with two draws and just eight defeats since the 1905 ‘Originals’ beat the\u00a0home side\u00a015-0 at Crystal Palace in London.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwickenham is one of the iconic venues in world rugby and there is nothing quite like hearing 80,000 fans\u00a0singing \u2018Swing Low\u2019 to get the adrenaline pumping,” Robertson said in a statement,\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Recent games against England have been incredibly close-fought, and both teams are coming off a run of wins, so we are expecting\u00a0an epic clash on Saturday afternoon.\u00a0We\u00a0will\u00a0embrace the atmosphere and\u00a0the\u00a0occasion.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
