England have named a new-look team for Saturday's Six Nations finale against France, with George Furbank and Ben Youngs named in the back-line.

Furbank has been named at full-back, pushing Freddie Steward onto the wing to form a new-look back-three combination.

Youngs has been reinstated at scrum-half ahead of Harry Randall, suggesting England are likely to target France with their kick-chase game.

Prop Will Stuart has been promoted to starting tight-head prop, with Kyle Sinckler only named on the bench after suffering a head injury against Ireland.

In total, Eddie Jones has made five personnel changes to his starting XV, with lock Nick Isiekwe and flanker Sam Underhill taking over from suspended Charlie Ewels and injured Tom Curry.

'This is our strongest 23 for the game against France,' said Jones.

'We are disappointed not to be in the contention for the trophy but last week's effort against Ireland was full of pride, energy and tactical discipline.

'We have focused on refreshing the team this week and we are ready to empty the tank on Saturday.'   

Courtney Lawes will captain the side at blind-side flanker, while Sam Underhill (open-side flanker) makes his first appearance for England since their win over South Africa in November 2021.  

Sam Simmonds is No 8 and in the front row, tight head prop Will Stuart starts alongside Ellis Genge and Jamie George. Maro Itoje and Nick Isiekwe are named in the second row.

England men's most-capped player Ben Youngs starts at scrum half and Marcus Smith stays at fly half. 

Henry Slade is at inside centre and Joe Marchant starts at outside centre. Jack Nowell is at left wing, Freddie Steward moves to the right wing and George Furbank is at full back.

Nic Dolly and Ollie Chessum are named as finishers. They are joined by Joe Marler, Kyle Sinckler, Alex Dombrandt, Harry Randall, George Ford and Elliot Daly on the bench. 

Head coach Jones knows what to expect from their opponents and insists his side must just cherish the occasion.  

'They're going to be a massively aroused team. They come through the centre with their big forwards and once they tie you up a little bit, they spread the ball to the backs.

'But they don't do that without using their long kicking game to get them up the field. 

'They're a very disciplined team in attack and defence. We anticipate them playing a very similar sort of game. 

'It's more about having own party. We've got a wonderful opportunity to play at the Stade de France, which is one of the most iconic sporting stadiums in the world. 

'We know there will be 82,000 Parisians there, full of life and full of expectation. 

'We get to play in a game where France have had a Six Nations and we want to finish the Six Nations strongly, so it's about creating our own party rather than spoiling France's.'
