Dafydd Jenkins will captain Wales again this weekend

Young Exeter Chiefs star Dafydd Jenkins will again captain Wales when his side faces England at T2024 Guinness Six Nations in the second round of the 2024 Guinness Six Nations on tomorrow (Saturday February 10, KO 4.45pm live on ITV and S4C).

George North returns to the Wales starting XV in what will be his 50th Six Nations appearance. He partners Nick Tompkins in the midfield.

Meanwhile, Jenkins and Adam Beard continue their second row partnership.

Following his try scoring debut last weekend, Alex Mann will make his first senior international start having been named at blind-side flanker. Tommy Reffell (open-side flanker) and Aaron Wainwright (No. 8) complete the Wales back row.

Tomos Williams starts at scrum-half, with Ioan Lloyd alongside him at fly-half.

Loose-head prop Gareth Thomas returns from injury to make his first appearance of the 2024 Guinness Six Nations. Hooker Elliot Dee and tight-head prop Keiron Assiratti who were both replacements against Scotland make their first starts of this Championship.

England are hoping Ellis Genge will be fit for the game after being withdrawn late during his side's narrow 27-24 win over Italy when he picked up a foot problem.
