Sharks full-back Joe Carpenter will make his England debut on Saturday when Steve Borthwick’s side take on the USA in Washington DC (kick-off 10.05pm BST).
The 23-year-old is one of three uncapped players named in a starting XV which will be captained by George Ford on his 102nd cap.
Sharks props Bevan Rodd and Asher Opoku-Fordjour will also start the game at Audi Field, while Ben Curry is named among the replacements.
Gloucester lock Arthur Clark and Bath centre Max Ojomoh will pull on the red rose for the first time in the fixture, while Gabriel Oghre, Charlie Atkinson, and Oscar Beard could also earn their first England caps from the bench.
This fixture marks the eighth meeting between England and the USA, with England having won all previous encounters.
“We know the USA will present a tough challenge,” said Borthwick.
“There’s been a great spirit in the squad throughout this tour. The players have worked hard for each other and pushed standards every day. Those selected this weekend have earned their chance through their effort and attitude.
“We aim to keep building the squad, learn from every experience, and deliver a performance that our supporters can be proud of.”
The match against the USA Eagles will be streamed live on RugbyPassTV and England Rugby’s YouTube channel.
