England have made nine changes for their World Cup dead rubber against Uruguay as Sam Burgess drops out of the match day squad.

The back line is reshuffled as Exeter duo Henry Slade and Jack Nowell feature at outside centre and wing respectively. Scrum half Danny Care and full back Alex Goode also get to make their tournament bows in the sides last game. George Ford returns at fly half for the game as Owen Farrell moves to inside centre.

There are also changes in the pack as Mako Vunipola replaces Joe Marler, while James Haskell and Nick Easter take their places in the back row in place of Tom Wood and Ben Morgan.

There is no place in the squad for Sam Burgess amid reports he is to return to rugby league and join Leeds Rhinos. Burgess had featured in England's opening three games.

Head coach Stuart Lancaster wants the side to  go out on a high in the tournament. “We owe it to ourselves and the supporters who have been brilliant throughout."
