England name squad to take on Wales for Round 2 of the 6 Nations

Eddie Jones has named his side for England’s RBS 6 Nations game against Wales at Principality Stadium on Saturday.

There are two changes to the England starting XV that defeated France 19-16 at Twickenham Stadium last weekend. Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs) starts on the right wing with Jack Clifford (Harlequins) named at flanker to win his ninth cap.

Tom Wood (Northampton Saints) and Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby) are included as finishers in an otherwise unchanged bench.
