Autumn Internationals: England coach Andy Robinson has reacted to last week's blunt attacking display against New Zealand by naming a new-look, high-speed backline for Saturday's game against Samoa.

Gloucester's James Simpson-Daniel comes in at outside centre, the prolific Tom Voyce of Wasps starts on the left wing and Harry Ellis returns to the scrumhalf role in the team named yesterday. Jamie Noon and Ben Cohen are dropped from the match 22 while Matt Dawson moves to the bench.

There are two changes to the pack which performed impressively in Saturday's 23-19 defeat and in the previous week's 26-16 win over Australia. Louis Deacon wins his first cap, replacing Danny Grewcock in the secondrow, while Prop Matt Stevens comes in for Phil Vickery.Uncapped Leicester winger Tom Varndell is named among the replacements.

Wales coach Mike Ruddock has made two changes to his starting XV for the home side's "final throw of the dice" against Australia at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. With only a scratchy 11-10 win over Fiji to boast about this autumn, Ruddock has kept faith in the side that lost 33-16 to South Africa at the weekend.

Llanelli Scarlets centre Matthew Watkins takes the number 13 jersey off captain Gareth Thomas, who reverts to fullback in the place of Lee Byrne. Byrne, who made his Test debut in the 41-3 drubbing by the All Blacks that opened the campaign, drops to the bench.
