BAGSHOT, England (Reuters) - Winger Jack Nowell and prop Ben Moon have been named to start for England in Saturday's potentially decisive Six Nations clash in Wales, with Joe Cokanasiga and Brad Shields on the bench for the first time in the championship.

Nowell was dropped to the bench for the home win over France but with Chris Ashton out with a calf strain, he returns to start in the same back three as in the opening win in Dublin, with Jonny May on the left and Elliot Daly at fullback.
