Gareth Anscombe will start at outhalf for Wales in Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations clash against England at the Principality Stadium. Anscombe has been preferred to the more experienced Dan Biggar, with Wales head coach Warren Gatland naming a team showing just two changes from the side that beat France three weeks ago. Dragons lock Cory Hill replaces Adam Beard as skipper Alun Wyn Jones’ secondrow partner, while scrumhalf Gareth Davies takes over from Tomos Williams, who was not considered due to injury. “We’ve had a great two-week lead up to this game, we’ve looked really sharp and the squad are incredibly motivated to kick on. Replacements: Elliot Dee, Nicky Smith, Dillon Lewis, Adam Beard, Aaron Wainwright, Aled Davies, Dan Biggar, Owen Watkin.
