England coach Andy Robinson has included uncapped duo Anthony Allen and Shaun Perry in his starting team to face New Zealand at Twickenham on Sunday.

Allen, 20, starts at centre alongside Jamie Noon while 28-year-old Perry gets the scrumhalf slot in the team announced on Monday.

Martin Corry captains the team and starts at blindside flanker.

"Anthony has really come through this season and it is a testament to Gloucester and the RFU Academy system that he is now ready to play against the number one team in the world at the moment," Robinson said.

"Shaun was unfortunate not to tour in the summer because of a wrist injury but he has maintained his form from last season and it's now right that he gets his chance."

Corry reclaims the captaincy from Pat Sanderson after being rested for the summer tour of Australia.

"Martin captained the England team very well last year and throughout those matches led the side from the front," Robinson added.

Josh Lewsey (knee), Olly Morgan (shoulder) and James Forrester (knee) were not considered because of injury, while Mathew Tait has returned to Newcastle Falcons to continue his rehabilitation after a thigh strain.
   
The replacements' bench has yet to be confirmed.
