Wales introduce key lineup changes for Six Nations finale against England

Wales have confirmed several changes to their starting lineup ahead of the Six Nations finale against England at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Interim head coach Matt Sherratt has made adjustments in both the backline and forward pack as Wales looks to finish their campaign on a high note.

Joe Roberts has been named to start on the left wing, a new position for him at Test level. Typically a centre, Roberts fills the gap left by injuries to Tom Rogers and Josh Adams.

He joins Ellis Mee and Blair Murray in the back three, with Mee shifting to the right wing and Murray continuing at fullback. The midfield pairing of Ben Thomas and Max Llewellyn remains unchanged, while Gareth Anscombe and Tomos Williams retain their roles as the half-back duo.

In the forward pack, Aaron Wainwright returns to the starting XV at blindside flanker, which sees captain Jac Morgan move to openside flanker and Tommy Reffell shift to the bench. Taulupe Faletau keeps his place at number eight, maintaining experience in the back row.

The front five remains unchanged, with Nicky Smith, Elliot Dee, and WillGriff John forming the front row, supported by locks Will Rowlands and Dafydd Jenkins.

On the bench, Nick Tompkins returns to provide additional depth in the backs, alongside Rhodri Williams and Jarrod Evans. The forward replacements include Dewi Lake, Gareth Thomas, Keiron Assiratti, Teddy Williams, and Tommy Reffell.
