35 players have assembled at the Honda England Rugby Performance Centre, Pennyhill Park, to begin preparations for the upcoming Guinness Six Nations Test match against Wales at Principality Stadium on Saturday 15 March (kick-off 4.45pm GMT).
Find your local Greene King and settle in to the Six Nations!
There is a noteable change-up in the centres, as Ollie Lawrence is set to miss the final found of the tournament with an Achilles injury.
Lawrence picked up the injury after just eight minutes of play against Italy, with question marks now rising around the midfielder’s contention for the British & Irish Lions tour. Lawrence is replaced in the England squad by his Bath teammate Max Ojomoh.

Three players Borthwick must change despite smashing Italy – who should replace them
Here are three changes England must make for their final Six Nations clash.
#1. Ellis Genge
Planet Rugby: “Again, didn’t get to do much scrummaging but on the whole was fine. Carried hard when given the chance and got about in defence.”
Telegraph: “Probably his quietest performance of the Championship so far. Won an early scrum penalty but then got pinged for sealing off right in front of the posts.”
Mail Online: Warned for protesting with referee in the first half after being penalised for sealing off. Added a couple of trademark carries in attack.
Evening Standard: “Warned by the referee for his reaction to giving away a contentious late first-half penalty as he had too much to say for himself. Not his best day otherwise but useful in the loose.”
Replacement: Fin Baxter
