Robinson rings the changes for Boks challenge

BELEAGURED England boss Andy Robinson has reacted to his team’s shambolic defeat against Argentina by making seven changes for the Twickenham appointment with South Africa on Saturday.

Wing Ben Cohen, lock Danny Grewcock and Lewis Moody – who boast more than 160 caps between them – are among those absent from Robinson’s starting line-up.

Cohen is replaced by his fellow World Cup winner Josh Lewsey, with Wasps forward Tom Palmer taking over from Grewcock and Palmer’s club colleague Joe Worsley recalled in the back-row instead of Moody, who is relegated to bench duty.
