Six Nations 2022: Wales recall Taulupe Faletau and Josh Adams to face England

Wales have recalled Taulupe Faletau and Josh Adams for Saturday's Six Nations match against England.

They are the only two changes made by head coach Wayne Pivac to the team which beat Scotland with Faletau in the back row instead of Jac Morgan and wing Adams replacing Louis Rees-Zammit.

Number eight Faletau has played two games for Bath since a seven-month lay-off with an ankle injury.

Adams missed the home win over Scotland with a calf problem.

The Cardiff wing was picked at outside centre for the opening defeat in Ireland but is back in his natural position at Twickenham.

Owen Watkin and Nick Tompkins start again in midfield with Jonathan Davies on the replacements' bench.

Wing Alex Cuthbert keeps his starting spot after an impressive display against Scotland with Rees-Zammit released to play for Gloucester against Leicester on Saturday.

Rees-Zammit has struggled to impose himself in the first two games of the Six Nations.

The 21-year-old damaged his ankle in the warm-up against Ireland but still played in the Dublin defeat.

Faletau is straight in the back row at number eight alongside Dragons duo Taine Basham and Ross Moriarty, who switches to blind-side flanker.

Faletua has played twice for Bath since returning to action after picking up an ankle injury while playing for the British and Irish Lions in South Africa in the summer of 2021.

The 31-year-old has played 86 internationals for Wales and been involved in five Lions Tests.

Morgan started in his first cap against Scotland, while Aaron Wainwright — who misses out altogether at Twickenham — was included from the outset against Ireland.
