England have named an unchanged starting XV for their Round 2 Six Nations clash vs Wales at Twickenham on Saturday, with prop Ellis Genge coming onto the bench. 

Head coach Steve Borthwick oversees an England side which shows no changes week-to-week – the first time this has occurred since the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.

Loosehead Genge replaces Beno Obano as a replacement, having pulled out of the matchday squad late last week due to a foot injury.

England began their championship campaign with a 27-24 victory over Italy in Rome, while Wales fell to a 27-26 home defeat vs Scotland, fighting back from 27-0 behind in Cardiff.

England: 15 Freddie Steward, 14 Tommy Freeman, 13 Henry Slade, 12 Fraser Dingwall, 11 Elliot Daly, 10 George Ford, 9 Alex Mitchell; 1 Joe Marler, 2 Jamie George (c), 3 Will Stuart, 4 Maro Itoje, 5 Ollie Chessum, 6 Ethan Roots, 7 Sam Underhill, 8 Ben Earl

Replacements: 16 Theo Dan, 17 Ellis Genge, 18 Dan Cole, 19 Alex Coles, 20 Chandler Cunningham-South, 21 Danny Care, 22 Fin Smith, 23 Immanuel Feyi-Waboso.
