Payne called into England squad England select Goode at fly-half
(about 5 hours later)
England have called up Wasps prop Tim Payne to replace the injured Andrew Sheridan for Saturday's second Test against South Africa at Twickenham. Andy Goode will start at fly-half for England when they face South Africa at Twickenham on Saturday.
Wasps full-back Mark van Gisbergen is a late addition to the squad, joining prop Stuart Turner, lock Danny Grewcock and flankers Magnus Lund and Tom Rees. The 26-year-old Leicester player replaces the injured Charlie Hodgson.
Centres Anthony Allen and Ben Johnston, and wing Paul Sackey also return. There are three other changes to the XV which beat the Springboks 23-21 last weekend, with Lee Mears, Chris Jones and Phil Vickery being handed starts.
Under-pressure England coach Andy Robinson will name his team to face the Springboks at 1600 GMT on Tuesday. The London Wasps pair of Tim Payne and Mark van Gisbergen, who were called up to the squad on Monday, are named among the replacements.
606: DEBATE class="" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A17551749">Andy Farrell should definitely be in the England squad OS class="" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/606/default.stm">606: Have your say Goode was always in pole position to step into Hodgson's shoes after replacing the Sale fly-half when he was carried off injured just before half-time last Saturday.
Payne started his only Test against Australia, a 51-15 hammering in Brisbane, on Sir Clive Woodward's last tour as head coach. When Goode came on South Africa led 13-6 and he was a steadying influence as England fought back to claim a narrow victory, avoiding a record eighth defeat in a row.
The 27-year-old won two more caps as a replacement against the Wallabies this summer and could make only his second Test start, unless Phil Vickery starts at loose-head. With Hodgson joining Jonny Wilkinson on the long-term injury list England's fly-half options are down to the bare bones.
Iain Balshaw, who missed Saturday's win over South Africa, will remain with Gloucester to continue his rehabilitation from a calf injury, so Josh Lewsey will remain at full-back. class="bodl" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A17560622"> 606 DEBATE: Give your thoughts on the England line-up
With Charlie Hodgson joining Sheridan on the long-term casualty list, Andy Goode and Toby Flood will compete for the fly-half jersey. Up front there are two changes in the front row with Vickery's selection the more significant.
class="bodl" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/english/squad_selector/default.stm">Pick your own England team The Wasps prop, who had not played for England for a year due to injury, also came on as a replacement last Saturday.
His presence notably lifted a floundering England side and he plunged over for the match-winning try.
Vickery, normally a tight-head, will start at loose-head prop in place of Andrew Sheridan, who like Hodgson is out for the rest of the season because of an injury sustained against the Boks.
Vickery, who will be winning his 49th cap, is joined in the front row by Bath hooker Mears.
Behind them Sale lock Jones is handed his chance alongside Tom Palmer in a mobile second row.
England are chasing their eighth win in a row over South Africa, who have not won at Twickenham since 1997.
