Head coach Stuart Lancaster will promote Dave Attwood to the match-day squad in place of Lions lock Parling, below, and can now be expected to pair Courtney Lawes and Joe Launchbury in the starting second row.
Full-back Ben Foden, like Attwood among those sent back to play for their clubs last weekend, was another retained among the 23 who will form the match squad – in Foden’s case at the expense of Henry Trinder.
Lancaster’s decision is likely to mean a first cap at outside-centre for rugby league convert Joel Tomkins, whose brother Sam is playing in the league World Cup on the same day.
