Anthony Watson will make his first start for England since 2021 after being named on the wing to face Wales in the Six Nations clash in Cardiff on Saturday.
Watson has replaced the injured Ollie Hassell-Collins (knee) in the only change to the starting XV that defeated Italy 31-14 at Twickenham a fortnight ago.
Leicester Tigers flyer Watson last started for England against Ireland in a March 2021 Six Nations clash in Dublin.

Watson, who turns 29 on Sunday, spent nearly a year on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Experienced forward Courtney Lawes could make his England return at the Principality Stadium after being named on the bench.
The 33-year-old has spent much of this season out of action as a result of concussion, neck, glute and calf injuries but could play a role in Cardiff either as a lock or at blindside flanker.
Ben Curry is also on the bench after the loose forward’s twin brother, Tom, was ruled out by an unspecified leg injury.
