Ellis Genge and Ollie Chessum move to the bench but there is no place in the squad for Marcus Smith, the starting fullback against Fiji. It was not initially clear whether Smith had been fit for selection after suffering a head injury in that game, though Steward was always likely to return.
The 22-year-old had played 28 consecutive matches before being rested for the Chile game. He returned for the final pool match against Samoa before missing out versus Fiji. "After an excellent few days' preparation in Paris, we look forward to the challenge of playing the World Champions and number one ranked team in the world,” Borthwick said.
"There is no doubt the players will truly relish the challenge of knockout rugby under the lights in Paris."
