(Reuters) - England flyhalf Marcus Smith has welcomed the return from injury of centre Manu Tuilagi as the squad prepares for a showdown with Wales at Twickenham on Feb. 26, a match both sides need to win to keep their championship hopes on track.

Tuilagi was added to the England training squad to bolster the midfield options for coach Eddie Jones following his return for Sale Sharks at the weekend after a hamstring problem.
