England head coach Stuart Lancaster has insisted that Semesa Rokoduguni is ready to make his international bow against world champions New Zealand.
The 27-year-old, who has six tries to his name for Bath Rugby in the Aviva Premiership this season, will start on the right wing this weekend.
Anthony Watson has also been handed his England debut, while George Kruis is on the replacements' bench for the Twickenham showdown.
"I am delighted for Roko," Lancaster is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "It's great to be able to give him this opportunity. "It's a great step for him. He has topped the stats in virtually every category and looks ready to play.
"The same with Anthony Watson and George Kruis and I am sure they will contribute should they come off the bench."
The All Blacks have lost just twice in their past 46 Tests.
