The addition of prop Alex Corbisiero, who wins his third cap, to replace the injured Andrew Sheridan is the only change to England’s starting XV for their important RBS 6 Nations 2011 match with Scotland at Twickenham on Sunday 13th March 2011.
There are two new additions to the replacements: Paul Doran-Jones comes into the replacement berth Corbisiero leaves, while Tom Croft, flanker, is named in an England squad for the first time since picking up an injury against South Africa in the Autumn. Croft, who plays his club rugby for Leicester Tigers, replaces Hendre Fourie of Leeds Carnegie.
England’s coach Martin Johnson named the following squad on Friday 11th March.
