LONDON (AP) — England coach Stuart Lancaster has made at least four changes for Saturday's test against South Africa at Twickenham.

No. 8 Thomas Waldrom, flanker Tom Johnson and wing Charlie Sharples have all been dropped from the 23-man squad after starting in England's 20-14 loss to Australia on Saturday. Loosehead prop Joe Marler has been ruled out with a knee ligament injury, opening the way for Alex Corbisiero's return after overcoming a knee injury of his own.

James Haskell and Ben Morgan have been included in the squad, replacing Waldrom and Johnson. Center Jonathan Joseph has taken Sharples' place in the match-day squad after shaking off an ankle injury. England's team to face South Africa will be announced Thursday.
