England has named an unchanged 23-man squad for its Test match against Australia at Twickenham on Saturday.
Gloucester centre Billy Twelvetrees will keep his place and compete with Owen Farrell for the inside centre spot.
James Haskell, who started the 28-9 win last Saturday, is up against Tom Wood and Ben Morgan for a place in the back row after Thomas Waldrom was released back to the Exeter Chiefs.
“There has been some strong competition for places throughout the whole series and, with our strength in depth increasing in many positions and key players to return from injury soon, we will be in good shape for 2015,” head coach Stuart Lancaster said in a statement on Wednesday morning.
“It was great to get the win last week and the whole 23 did well so we want to give those guys another chance against an Australian team who will want to finish their season on a high.
“We’ve had great support at Twickenham over the last three games and we are determined to give the fans something to shout about this weekend.”
ENGLAND SQUAD:
Dave Attwood, Kieran Brookes, Dylan Hartley, James Haskell, George Kruis, Courtney Lawes, Joe Marler, Ben Morgan, Matt Mullan, Chris Robshaw, Rob Webber, David Wilson, Tom Wood, Brad Barritt, Mike Brown, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Jonny May, Billy Twelvetrees, Anthony Watson, Richard Wigglesworth, Marland Yarde, Ben Youngs
