England team to face Wales in Six Nations

The starting side is unchanged from last weekend’s 24-27 win over Italy in Rome, with just one alteration to the bench, that sees vice captain Ellis Genge return after recovering from a foot injury.

Elsewhere, prop Joe Marler is set to earn a 90th Test cap, whilst Harlequin teammate Danny Care will bring up his 98th should he feature from the bench.

Borthwick on selection

"It was both pleasing and important to have started our Six Nations campaign in Rome with a victory. It was good to have done so in front of so many travelling England supporters.

"However, we know there are areas of our game to improve as we prepare for this Saturday's game against a spirited Wales team.

"With a new player group and a number of new caps, we have tried to develop our game on both sides of the ball. Such changes take time, and I was pleased how quickly the players settled and adapted last weekend against Italy.

"We're delighted to be back playing in front of a sold-out Twickenham Stadium this Saturday. The visit of the Wales team is always a fixture that creates a special atmosphere.

"I have no doubt that this group of players are relishing the challenge before them and are looking forward to creating a very special experience for our supporters."
