Ollie Fletcher makes his first appearance in the series at hooker, and number eight Toby Knight moves from the bench to the start the game.
"Taking the positives from our game against South Africa has been important as we prepare for tomorrow’s game," said Dickens. "The three tries from Stewart, Ilione and Oresanya were pleasing and to perform against France, who had a strong start against Ireland in the first round, we need to keep focus on our set piece and maintain our discipline.
"The players have been training hard and are looking forward to facing France in round two."
