England will have a new front row against Argentina at Twickenham tomorrow with David Wilson given a rare start alongside hooker Dylan Hartley and prop Joe Marler.

Wilson has been a virtual fixture on England’s bench over the last four years, with 23 of his 29 caps coming as a replacement, but his extra power gave him the nod over Dan Cole for what is expected to be a stiff scrummaging examination from the Pumas.

Hartley comes in for Tom Youngs, who joins Cole on the bench and Marler replaces the injured Maku Vunipola. Alex Corbisiero, who missed last week’s victory over Australia, is back on the bench.

The only change in the backs sees Ben Foden, in hot form for North-ampton, starting on the left wing after Marlon Yarde, who played last week, and Christian Wade, both failed fitness tests yesterday.

Geoff Parling comes in for Dave Attwood among the replacements and Alex Goode comes on to the bench to cover the back three.

Although England convincingly beat Argentina away twice in June, both sides were considerably below full strength and tomorrow’s match will be a much more meaningful contest.

Despite struggling to make an impact in the Rugby Championship, where they lost all six games against the southern hemisphere big three, and in their first match under new coach Daniel Hourcade, the Pumas remain a tough nut to crack up front.

However, having dominated the scrum against Australia, England will want and expect to do the same in front of their own fans.

Wilson will be desperate to show that he is a viable option to start at tighthead, where Cole missed only one of England’s 41 games before sitting out the Argentina tour to play for the British & Irish Lions.
