Captain Martin Johnson and flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson return to the England side for Saturday's test against South Africa at Twickenham.

Coach Clive Woodward rested Wilkinson for last weekend's record 134-0 defeat of Romania and he slots into the backline in place of Charlie Hodgson, who scored 44 points on his debut and returns to the replacements' bench.

Johnson has been sidelined since breaking his hand on October 13th but played for his club, Leicester, on Saturday.

Apart from the return of Johnson, the side is the same as the one that beat world champions Australia 21-15 on November 10th.
