Smith back in plans for title climax

ENGLAND have made extensive changes to their team for Saturday's final Six Nations match against Wales, including recalling Marcus Smith at full-back.

A week after being dropped, Smith returns as one of four personnel changes with head coach Steve Borthwick making three further positional switches, despite last Sunday’s seven-try rout of Italy.

Tommy Freeman moves from the right wing to partner Northampton team-mate Fraser Dingwall in the centres after Ollie Lawrence was ruled out with an Achilles injury sustained against the Azzurri. It will be Freeman’s first Test start in the number 13 jersey.

Tom Roebuck fills the vacancy on the right wing created by Freeman’s move infield, while Elliot Daly shifts from full-back to left wing.
