    SQUAD UPDATE: England have called up uncapped Bath centre Max Ojomoh to replace his injured clubmate Ollie Lawrence ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash against winless Wales.

    [rp-mc-game id="209|941802|2025"][/rp-mc-game]

    Lawrence suffered a season-threatening Achilles injury early in Sunday's 47-24 victory over Italy at Twickenham and was driven off the pitch on a medical cart.

    Ojomoh, 24, son of former England loose forward Steve, fills the hole created in Steve Borthwick's 35-man squad that is preparing for the climax of the tournament in Cardiff.

    England moved Elliot Daly from fullback to outside centre to plug the gap against Italy, and the versatile Saracens player is an option to start alongside Fraser Dingwall against Wales.

    Henry Slade was dropped for the Italy clash and could be restored to the midfield, while rookie Oscar Beard and wing Tommy Freeman are also alternatives for the position.

    England have an outside chance of clinching a first Six Nations title since 2020 but need Scotland to beat favourites France in Paris.
