Tindall: Back to tackle Romania

Tindall captained England in the 13-9 victory over Argentina - although he captured the headlines for the wrong reasons following his involvement on a squad night out in Queenstown.

Tindall was rested for the subsequent 41-10 win against Georgia but he returns to replace Shantayne Hape in the midfield.

The Gloucester centre is joined in the backs by Mark Cueto and Jonny Wilkinson for Saturday's encounter - with Delon Armitage and Toby Flood making way.

England boss Martin Johnson has made four changes in the pack - with hooker Steve Thompson, prop Alex Corbisiero, lock Louis Deacon and flanker Tom Croft all starting.

Nick Easter and Matt Stevens are both sidelines with injuries, though, while lock Courtney Lawes, completes his two-match ban.

On the bench there are first appearances for David Wilson and Lee Mears, while Saracens Richard Wigglesworth returns.

England: 15 Ben Foden, 14 Chris Ashton, 13 Manu Tuilagi, 12 Mike Tindall, 11 Mark Cueto, 10 Jonny Wilkinson, 9 Ben Youngs, 1 Alex Corbisiero, Steve Thompson, 3 Dan Cole, 4 Louis Deacon, 5 Tom Palmer, 6 Tom Croft, 7 Lewis Moody (capt), 8 James Haskell.Replacements: 16 Lee Mears, 17 David Wilson, 18 Simon Shaw, 19 Tom Wood, 20 Richard Wigglesworth, 21 Toby Flood, 22 Delon Armitage.
