He will replace the injured Ollie Hassell-Collins in the XV. It is the only enforced change in an otherwise identical line-up to the one Steve Borthwick named against Italy.

Borthwick picked up his first victory as England boss last time out and will be keen to collect another confidence-inspiring victory over Wales this weekend.
