Italy side best ever - Johnson
England manager Martin Johnson has kept faith with the same starting XV that beat Wales in their Six Nations opener for Saturday's match at home to Italy.
The decision means James Haskell is preferred at open-side flanker ahead of specialist number seven Hendre Fourie.
Fourie displaces Wasps veteran Joe Worsley, who appeared as a replacement in Cardiff, on the bench.
Northampton's Tom Wood and number eight Nick Easter complete the back row while Mike Tindall retains the captaincy.
In the backline, Toby Flood has cemented his place as Johnson's first-choice fly-half ahead of World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson, as Shontayne Hape keeps his place at centre.
Despite an apparent focus on a more expansive game since last year's championship during which his side scored six tries, Johnson insists his priorities remain unchanged.
"Number one is a win, number two is no serious injuries and number three is a good game," Johnson said.
"We want to win and from that is how we do it. We're here to win Test matches, let's make no bones about that.
"We know what they're about. They're a good team and a real challenge."
Italian captain and number eight Sergio Parisse will lead a physical forward pack, but England are expected to dominate in the backs.

Bath's Hape will hope to make the most of the opportunity after admitting that he has struggled to recapture the form he showed in the autumn internationals.
The omission of Lions centre Riki Flutey from the squad means Wilkinson and winger Matt Banahan will offer cover in midfield.
Although neither's preferred role, Banahan started the autumn international against Samoa in midfield, while Wilkinson played outside Danny Cipriani against Ireland in 2008.
Louis Deacon, who was shown a yellow card after conceding a penalty deep in England's half in Cardiff, has held off the challenge of 62-cap Simon Shaw in the second row.
While the selection of Dan Cole at tight-head prop will give him the chance to take on Italy's Martin Castrogiovanni, who occupies the role ahead him at club side Leicester.
Wood, one of four Saints players in the line-up, impressed on his debut in the 26-19 victory over Wales, and the 24-year-old could pose a selection problem for Johnson once usual captain Lewis Moody returns.
Moody, an open-side flanker, hopes to make his comeback in England's third match of the competition against France on 26 February - leaving Wood and the more experienced Haskell to vie for the number six shirt.
Italy have won only twice in the last three Six Nations but led Ireland in the final five minutes of their match in Rome on Saturday.
A Ronan O'Gara drop-goal snatched a 13-11 victory for the visitors, however, to deny the Azzurri a rare win.
