Clive Woodward has opted for changing half the team, so that he can reward those players whose form so far this season merits a chance to wear the white jersey at Twickenham.
Sound thinking, as motivating the full team could be difficult.
There is no doubt that Lewis Moody of Leicester will be leading the charge from the newcomers, closely followed by Charlie Hodgson, whose meteroic rise this season has led Sale almost to the summit of the Zurich Premiership.
Twenty-one-year-old Hodgson has the unenviable task of filling Johnny Wilkinson's boots and, while this opposition are not the same level as the world champions, Romania should still provide enough of a test for this promising fly-half. Selecting him sends a clear message to all the young players in England. This management has no fear of selecting players and completely disregards their age.
If they are good enough, they get their chance.
Hodgson's first outing coincides with the return of some veterans upfront like record-breaking Jason Leonard and warhorse Mark Reagan.
In the backs, Ben Cohen and Mike Tindall return to keep the rest of the division on their toes.
But, realistically, this match against Romania will not affect selection for the following week unless there are injuries.
All the heroes from the Australia match deserve the opportunity to attempt the Southern Hemisphere double and repeat last year's achievement.
I only hope tomorrow's try-scoring spree does not lead to the players picking up bad habits for next week.
