England have named Brad Shields on the blindside flank for their second Test against South Africa at the Free State Stadium on Sunday.

There are two changes to the starting 15 that played last week with Shields making his first England start at six and Danny Cipriani is named as a replacement.

England lost the first match of the three‑Test series against South Africa in Johannesburg 42‑39 last weekend.

Owen Farrell will captain the side again joining Henry Slade in midfield, with Ben Youngs and George Ford, England’s half‑back pairing.

Meanwhile, New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen has named an unchanged matchday 23 for their second Test against France at Westpac Stadium tomorrow.

Tomorrow, the All Blacks play France in their second test in Wellington at 7.35pm, Japan take on Italy at 8pm, while Australia face Ireland at 10pm.

On Sunday, South Africa will face England at 3.05am, Argentina will play Wales at 7.40am, Canada will take on Russia at 8am while USA will face Scotland at 1pm.
