Forwards Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ben Moon and Harry Williams, together with backs Jack Nowell and Henry Slade, all feature again having been part of the England's side that lost 21-13 to Wales last time out.
However, they have been joined by club-mate Alec Hepburn, who will form part of the 31-man squad that have assembled at England's training base at Pennyhill Park in Bagshot.
