George Ford and Jonathan Joseph retained for Wales game

George Ford and Jonathan Joseph, who were both in the 25-man England squad for the narrow win over France, have been retained for the Wales match.

This time around, Eddie Jones has named a 24-man squad for the trip to Wales but Ford and Joseph, who played 69 minutes each at Twickenham on Saturday, have kept their places.

The other Bath Rugby players to be in England's full Six Nations squad - Charlie Ewels, Nathan Catt and Anthony Watson, have not been able to work their way into the fold but Watson is injured.

After announcing his latest squad, Jones said: “We want to go there (Cardiff) and know that we are going to get better.

“We have had one week to get a bit of rust out of the system, and we want to go there and put in a pretty robust performance.”
 
Jones will name his Wales line-up on Thursday at 10am.
