Wales have named their team for this Saturday’s visit to the Twickenham Stoop to face England in the Women’s Six Nations (12:15).

Scarlet Sioned Harries (number eight), alongside fullback Elinor Snowsill, fresh from their outing in the Super 7s Rugby competition in Brisbane, come straight into the starting line-up. Harries will earn her 50th cap when she takes to the field at the home of the English Premiership’s Harlequins.

Utility back Hannah Jones takes her place on the bench after also competing in Australia.
