Ben Kay is in line to win his 46th cap in the second row, while clubmate Lewis Moody will be just one cap behind after being selected at openside flanker.
After wearing the No.6 shirt for last weekend's win over Wales, Tigers captain Martin Corry is named among the replacements for the second of England's three pre-World Cup warm up matches.
Only four of the players who started the 62-5 victory against their Celtic rivals retain their places, as head coach Brian Ashton looks to give game time to the majority of his training squad ahead of the selection deadline on August 14.
