LONDON (Reuters) - England number eight Billy Vunipola is set to play against Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday and could well start the Six Nations clash after making a fast-track recovery from a knee problem. Vunipola suffered the injury in November and was expected to miss the entire Six Nations but he played most of the match for his club Gloucester against Newcastle on Sunday and suffered no after-effects. Centre Jonathan Joseph, who was left out of the squad for the victory over Italy, is set to reclaim the outside centre berth from Ben Te'o. Scrumhalf Ben Youngs and winger Jack Nowell are also poised for recalls to the starting team, which will be named on Thursday. Scotland will arrive in good heart after two wins and some exciting performances but still face a huge task at a ground where they have not won for 34 years.
