It is great to see the return of ALUN-WYN JONES who had not been able to play in the last game due to a foot infection.

Also JONATHAN DAVIES returns following the agonising Pectoral Injury that he sustained during the Wales v South Africa game in November of last year.

Rhys Webb retains his position in the number 9 shirt as Scrum Half. Mike Phillips remains on the bench.

SO DON'T FORGET THIS MASSIVE GAME THAT COULD CHANGE THE WHOLE OUTCOME OF THE SIX NATIONS CHAMPIONSHIP 2014

WELL WALES RUGBY FANS .......


....AND ENGLAND FANS TOO- WHO DON'T HAVE SKY SPORTS!

I'M ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS :-0 :-0 :-0 :-| :-| :-|

The WALES V ENGLAND under 20s Match I advertised for tonight

CAN ONLY BE SEEN ON SKY SPORTS 3 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-S :-S :-S:-| :-| :-| :-( :-( :-(

Jem Think I heard this afternoon that Luke Charteris has an injury :-( :-(

LUKE CHARTERIS OUT OF WALES’ TEAM FACING ENGLAND ON SUNDAY! :-(

Thank you for bringing this to my attention John!

Yes, Luke Charteris has sustained a neck injury and his place is taken by the 22 year old Scarlet, Jake Ball.

Jake Ball is 6foot 7inches and weighs 19st 11lb.
He is the hairy bearded one! I wonder whether opposing players are tempted to pull his beard in the scrum! :-D :-D
.
This is Ball’s second Test start having come in to partner Charteris when Alun Wyn Jones had to drop out ahead of Wales 27-6 victory over France.

Andrew Coombs, 29, comes on to the replacements' bench in the reshuffle.

John-

I haven't been able to find out if the Under 20s match is on the radio tonight, or what Radio Station it is on if it is! :-S

There is LIVE COVERAGE on ESPNScrum TONIGHT 7.45pm if you can get that station.

My Grandson has been able to watch football matches covered by ESPN on the computer before. He is not here at the moment to see if he can access it for me! So we shall see!
