(Reuters) - Flyhalf George Ford, vice-captain Courtney Lawes and Tom Curry, returning after injury, were among the 36 players named to the England squad by coach Steve Borthwick ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash against Wales.

Sale Sharks flyhalf Ford returns after a long spell on the sidelines following an Achilles tendon injury sustained while playing for Leicester in the Premiership final last June.
