England vs Wales LIVE: Six Nations rugby team news revealed as Manu Tuilagi recalled

England take on Wales at Twickenham on Saturday in a showdown between two of the contenders for the championship. Only France can still win the Grand Slam this year as England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have each lost one match already, and Italy have lost two, but there is still everything to play for in a wide open year for the Six Nations.

England and Wales both named their line-ups this morning, with Manu Tialiagi recalled by Eddie Jones and Louis Rees-Zammit dropped by Wayne Pivac. If Wales can beat the English in London then the reigning champions will have well and truly rebuilt their title defence, having been hammered by Ireland on the opening day before recovering to earn an important win over Scotland in Cardiff on the second weekend. England also have one win and one defeat after losing to Scotland narrowly on the opening weekend in Edinburgh as the Scots retained the Calcutta Cup, before beating Italy comfortably in Rome.

Elsewhere on Saturday, the unbeaten France will travel to Murrayfield. Along with England and Wales, the Scots are also naming their team this morning, while on Sunday Ireland host Italy in Dublin. Follow all the latest Six Nations news below.
