Rugby Union - Six Nations - Bet Now at Bet365
England will have to cope without Billy Vunipola after the influential number eight was ruled out of the remainder of the Six Nations due to an ankle ligament injury.
Vunipola was forced off during the first half of the 13-10 victory over Ireland at the weekend and will now miss the clashes with Wales and Italy, with England still in the hunt for a Six Nations triumph.
"It is a blow as Billy has had a good Six Nations, but he is young and will be back," England head coach Stuart Lancaster said.
"The encouraging thing is we have got Ben Morgan and other back rows such as Matt Kvesic and Tom Johnson, who are all competing hard for places."
Morgan, who replaced Vunipola against the Irish at Twickenham, is expected to get the nod for the meeting with Wales on Sunday 9th March.
Meanwhile, flanker Tom Wood has recovered from the bout of cramp which troubled him against Ireland and is set to return to training on Tuesday.
England are currently one of four teams with four points from three games played in this season's Six Nations, with Ireland, Wales and France having all won two and lost one.
