Gareth Widdop will pull on the No.1 jersey for the first time in seven years after England coach Wayne Bennett rang the changes for his side's Rugby League World Cup clash with France.
Bennett elected to rest many of his stars for Sunday's match in Perth including hooker Josh Hodgson.
He also resisted the temptation to rush back Sam Burgess from injury.
Jermaine McGillvary has been named on the wing, however he is facing a lengthy ban as he gets set to answer biting charges at the judiciary on Wednesday night.
Widdop has been named at fullback for the final pool match in place of the injured Jonny Lomax (calf strain).
The St George Illawarra half hasn't played in the No.1 position since the 2010 Four Nations.
"I was pleased with the win against Lebanon but I'm looking for a better performance this week," Bennett said.
"We lost our way in the second half in the last game and that's something we'll be looking to improve on. We know what we're capable of, so we'll be aiming to put things right by Sunday."
Veteran hooker James Roby comes in for Hodgson while Canberra's Elliott Whitehead and Newcastle's Chris Heighington have not been named in the 17, replaced by Mike McKeenen and Scott Taylor.
Outside backs Ryan Hall and Kallum Watkins have also been rested but could come back into the side should McGillvary be found guilty of biting Lebanon's Robbie Farah.
Burgess has a medial ligament strain, suffered in the tournament opener against Australia, and is now likely to be brought back in for the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile prop Luke Douglas will captain Scotland after Danny Brough was sacked from the rest of the tournament for misbehaviour.
Five-eighth Brough was one of three players along with props Johnny Walker and Sam Brooks to be sent home after they were denied entry onto a flight in New Zealand for being too drunk.
Danny Addy will shift from hooker to the halves to replace Brough while Callum Phillips comes in at No.9.
Kodi Nikorima has beaten out Te Maire Martin for the New Zealand five-eighth spot in the side to tackle Tonga.
Lebanon coach Brad Fittler has made four changes for his side's clash with Australia with back-rower Chris Saab to return from concussion, Anthony Layoun and James Elias to start in the backline while Andrew Kazzi will return via the bench,
Meanwhile Lachlan Lam will make his international debut for Papua New Guinea against the USA in Port Moresby on Sunday.
The Sydney Roosters-contracted Lam is the son of ex-Queensland playmaker Adrian Lam and is considered one of the game's best up-and-coming halves.
Former Raiders favourite son Terry Campese (calf) has been named for Italy to take on Fiji in Canberra on Friday night.
