Leicester Tigers hooker Tom Youngs will make his first international start for England against the South African Northern Barbarians today.

Having enjoyed a first taste of national service off the bench in last week's 54-26 win against the Southern Barbarians, Youngs has been preferred to Harlequins' Joe Gray for the tour match in Potchefstroom.

Youngs is joined in the starting line-up by fellow Tigers Anthony Allen and Graham Kitchener.

Youngs' inclusion is one of six personnel changes to the side following their eight-try romp in Kimberley last week.

Quins' Ugo Monye comes in for his first start of the tour and he is joined in the back-line by Lee Dickson at scrum-half, in place of Danny Care.

Nick Abendanon takes over from Alex Goode at full-back and Christian Wade switches to the right wing for George Lowe.

In the pack, Jamie Gibson comes in for James Haskell, while Ben Morgan comes in at No.8 for Tigers' Thomas Waldrom.

The decision to put new Gloucester signing Morgan in the midweek side means that Waldrom has every chance of earning a first international start in Saturday's third and final Test of the series in Port Elizabeth, which the Springboks lead 2-0.

    “Absolutely delighted for Tom Youngs who took his chances at Tigers very well last season.
    In other news, looks like after negotiations broke down with Wasps, Agulla is signing for Bath next season! :(”
