Overview
- Jamie George starts as captain with Maro Itoje set to take over when he enters after missing build-up time for his mother's funeral.
- Freddie Steward starts at fullback with Immanuel Feyi-Waboso on the right wing and Alex Mitchell partnering George Ford at half-back.
- Alex Coles and Ollie Chessum are named at lock, with Guy Pepper, Sam Underhill and Ben Earl forming the back row.
- Bevan Rodd and Trevor Davison bolster a forward-heavy bench, with Marcus Smith and Ben Spencer the only backs among the replacements.
- Tom Roebuck misses out after a broken toe, and England arrive on an 11-match winning run expecting Wales to lean on a kicking game.
