Wales were defeated in their opening game of the tournament when they travelled to Ireland but responded with a win over Georgia at the weekend.

England’s last tournament game, a Quilter International at Twickenham Stadium, will determine their final standing in the competition (Sunday 6 December, 2pm KO).

Jones said: “We’re expecting another tough match, and at the home of Welsh Rugby where the heart and soul of their game is.

“We’ve picked the best 23 players for the battle and we’re looking forward to it greatly.”
