England have called up Courtney Lawes, Tom Curry, and George Ford in the 36-man squad ahead of Saturday's Six Nations game against Wales.

Lawes missed the first two games of the competition against Scotland and Italy due to a calf injury that he sustained while playing for Northampton Saints in the Heineken Champions Cup game against La Rochelle in January. He takes the place of Jonny Hill.

Meanwhile, Tom Curry also returns from injury to take the place of his brother Ben and uncapped duo Fraser Dingwall and Cadan Murley also have been included in the squad after Ollie Hassell-Collins was sidelined with a knee injury.

Dingwall has taken the place of Manu Tuilagi, who had a red-card while playing for Sale Sharks on Saturday.

George Ford, who has 81 caps to his name returns from Achilles injury with Northampton's Fin Smith missing out.

England are positioned third in the Six Nations table with a solitary win from two matches.
