Sam Warburton will return from injury to captain Wales in their Six Nations match against England on Saturday.

The Cardiff flanker missed his country’s 27-13 win over Scotland with a thigh problem.

But Warburton has now recovered and is one of three changes to the starting line-up.

The 23-year old replaces Aaron Shingler in the back row, while Ken Owens and Alun-Wyn Jones start at hooker and lock respectively.

Wales’ back-line is unchanged for the third successive Six Nations match.
