England plan to unleash Manu Tuilagi in the second half of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations title showdown with Wales at Twickenham after selecting him on the bench.

Tuilagi will end his 21-month injury-enforced international exile when he reinforces the final push against Warren Gatland's men in a match destined to decide who will be crowned 2016 champions.

"Manu has trained well this week and I'm pleased with what I've seen," head coach Eddie Jones said.

"His selection in the match day squad is based more on potential than his recent performances in the Premiership."

England have named an unchanged starting XV, but there are four changes to the bench in the promotion of Tuilagi, lock Joe Launchbury, prop Kieran Brookes and hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie.
