England v Wales: Six Nations 2022 – live!

Henry Slade will move in one to the 12 shirt as Jones decides whether Elliot Daly or Joe Marchant gets to partner him in midfield following the Tuilagi withdrawal.

The most interesting selection from Eddie Jones is Harry Randall starting at scrum-half ahead of men’s rugby caps record breaker Ben Youngs. Randall put some zip on the ball from the base and also asked questions with his nippy running game vs Italy, but few predicted a selection from the off in a match such as this. His battle with Tomos Williams is one to look forward to.

Wayne Pivac welcomes back Josh Adams to replace the aforementioned absentee Louis Rees-Zammit, while Alex Cuthbert will win his 50th cap on the other wing. Faletau makes a backrow of Taine Basham and Ross Moriarty.
