Wing Jack Nowell and flank Jack Clifford have been included in England's starting lineup for Saturday's crunch Six Nations match against Wales in Cardiff.

Coach Eddie Jones has opted for continuity in his 23-man squad, with Nowell and Clifford the only new faces in the run-on side. They replace Jonny May and Tom Wood, who both drop to the bench.

Loose forward Teimana Harrison falls out of the match 23 altogether.

'Playing Wales in Cardiff is one of the biggest games in world rugby and we’re excited,' Jones said. 'These are the games you want to be part of as a player and a coach.

'We don’t need extra motivation this week; we play Test rugby because we want to be the best.'

England – 15 Mike Brown, 14 Jack Nowell, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 12 Owen Farrell, 11 Elliot Daly, 10 George Ford, 9 Ben Youngs, 8 Nathan Hughes, 7 Jack CLifford, 6 Maro Itoje, 5 Courtney Lawes, 4 Joe Launchbury, 3 Dan Cole, 2 Dylan Hartley (c), 1 Joe Marler.
Subs: 16 Jamie George, 17 Matt Mullan, 18 Kyle Sinckler, 19 Tom Wood, 20 James Haskell, 21 Danny Care, 22 Ben Te’o, 23 Jonny May.
