Six Nations: Wales head coach Warren Gatland rings the changes for clash with England at Twickenham | Rugby Union News
Warren Gatland has made seven changes to Wales’ starting line-up for Saturday’s Six Nations clash against England at Twickenham.
Centre George North returns from injury for his 50th Six Nations appearances, lining up alongside Nick Tompkins in midfield.
Fly-half Sam Costelow, who went off injured during the first half of Wales’ 27-26 loss to Scotland last weekend, is replaced by Ioan Lloyd, with Tomos Williams preferred to Gareth Davies at scrum-half.
Gatland has also selected a new front-row of Gareth Thomas, Elliot Dee and Keiron Assiratti, with Cardiff flanker Alex Mann handed a first Wales start following his try-scoring appearance off the bench against Scotland, taking over from an injured James Botham.
