Portugal Colonial - England recall Tuilagi and Lawes for Wales clash

The injury-plagued Tuilagi returns to midfield after three months out with a torn hamstring.

Eddie Jones has also restored Courtney Lawes as England captain after the Northampton back-row missed the opening two rounds following a concussion suffered on club duty.

Stand-in skipper Tom Curry remains in a loose forward trio also featuring Harlequins No 8 Alex Dombrant.

Ben Youngs will become England's most-capped men's player of all time, with his 115th appearance, should he take the field as a replacement.

That would see the scrum-half break the record he currently shares with retired prop Jason Leonard.

Veteran coach Jones has kept faith with Harry Randall at scrum-half after the three-times capped No 9 started in a 33-0 rout of perennial strugglers Italy last time out.

Both England and reigning champions Wales have one win and one defeat so far in this season's Six Nations.
