England Make Two Changes For Crucial Wales Clash

Jonathon Joseph and Danny Care have been selected to start for England in their crucial Six Nations match against Wales. Joseph replaces Ben Te’o who is named on the bench whilst Danny Care replaces the injured Ben Youngs.

Joseph will start at centre alongside Owen Farrell whilst Care will become England’s most capped scrum-half, making his 78th appearance for his country. World Cup winner Matt Dawson was the previous record holder but Care will pass him this Saturday.

"Danny Care very much deserves the honour of being the most capped England scrum-half and I am sure he'll make the most of his opportunity on Saturday," said England coach Eddie Jones, who is confident ahead of the clash.

The rest of the team remains unchanged from the impressive 46-15 win over Italy in Rome. Anthony Watson, Owen Farrell and Sam Simmonds will be hoping to add to the two tries apiece that they bagged in the Stadio Olimpico as they take on a Wales side who also enjoyed an impressive victory last week.

Jones ahead of the game said: “We'll be well prepared and ready to go out there and beat Wales on Saturday." England are looking to become the first nation to win three Six Nations titles in a row, having been successful in the previous two years.

Wales beat Scotland 34-7 to bag a bonus point and go level with England and the top of the table at this early stage. Warren Gatland names an unchanged side for this game, putting his faith in the XV that eased past the Scots.
