KEY POINTS:
England have overhauled their backline for the second rugby test against the All Blacks in Christchurch on Saturday.
While one injury-enforced change has been made to the forward pack, the backline features just two players who started in the 20-37 loss at Auckland last Saturday.
Halves Richard Wigglesworth and Charlie Hodgson have been axed, with halfback Danny Care and first five-eighth Toby Flood to fill those roles.
The other changes see Jamie Noon named at second five-eighth, Tom Varndell on the left wing and Mathew Tait at fullback. They come in for Olly Barkley, David Strettle and Mike Brown respectively.
The change to the pack sees injured prop Andy Sheridan replaced by Tim Payne on the loosehead side.
