Chiefs trio in England squad

Eddie Jones' side face Wales on Saturday

Exeter Chiefs trio Henry Slade, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Jonny Hill have all been named in Eddie Jones' England squad for Saturday's game against Wales in the Autumn Nations Cup.

George Ford returns to the starting line-up at fly half, after returning from injury as a finisher in last week’s 18-7 win over Ireland. Captain Owen Farrell moves to inside centre with Henry Slade at outside centre.

Luke Cowan-Dickie and Anthony Watson return from injury as finishers. They are joined by Ben Earl, Ellis Genge, Jonny Hill, Dan Robson, Will Stuart and Jack Willis.

England have won their last two games in the competition and sit top of their table in group A.

Jones said: “We’re expecting another tough match, and at the home of Welsh Rugby where the heart and soul of their game is. Twelve months ago, Wales were Grand Slam champions and three points from a World Cup final, so we know what they are capable of. We’ve picked the best 23 players for the battle and we’re looking forward to it greatly.”
