Maro Itoje and Charlie Ewels are named at lock, while Tom Curry stays at openside flanker and Alex Dombrandt is No. 8.

Manu Tuilagi returns from injury at inside centre and Henry Slade is outside centre.  Marcus Smith is fly half and Harry Randall starts at scrum half. Jack Nowell (left) and Max Malins (right) are at wing and Freddie Steward is at full back.

Ben Youngs could become England’s most-capped men’s player of all time as he is named a finisher. Youngs equalled Jason Leonard’s record of 114 caps in England’s 33-0 win against Italy. He made his debut in March 2010 against Scotland.

Jamie George, Joe Marler, Will Stuart, Nick Isiekwe, Sam Simmonds, George Ford and Elliot Daly complete the finishers.

"We’ve prepared very well for this game, the squad have really come together on and off the pitch," said Jones. "Wales are a good, tough side and Six Nations champions and it will make for an exciting Test match in front of a full Twickenham crowd.

"We’ve got a talented, young, hungry squad who have trained with real intensity this week. We’re ready to go at them and can’t wait to play in front of our supporters again.

"It will also be a special match with two significant milestones for Ben and Kyle. Both have made outstanding contributions to English rugby so far in their careers. We congratulate them and we know there is more to come ahead for them."
