Taulepe Faletau passed fit for Wales' clash with England

Bath Rugby's Taulepe Faletau will be able to feature in the Six Nations' rival clash between Wales and England on Saturday.

Number eight Faletau was initially a doubt for the weekend's grudge match due to a knee injury, that was picked up on Christmas Eve, but he has now been passed fit.

As a result, he missed Wales' routine 33-7 win over Italy on Sunday.

It is not quite so good news for his Bath colleague Luke Charteris though - he has not quite been given the green light by his international coaching staff.

Wales assistant coach Shaun Edwards said of the pair: "Taulupe will be available for selection, and we have just got to wait for Luke."
