BAGSHOT, England :Anthony Watson will make his first start for England in two years after being named on the wing for Saturday's Six Nations game against Wales.
It will be the classy Watson’s first start since the Six Nations in 2021, the year he also appeared twice for the British & Irish Lions against South Africa. Curry was called up earlier in the week after his brother Tom was ruled out of the rest of the championship with a hamstring strain. He too played in the first game before being dropped for the Italy match.
“We know the Principality Stadium crowd will be in full voice and we will have to be at our very best to repeat the success we had in the last round against Italy.
