Bath Rugby prop David Wilson on the bench for England's Six Nations showdown with France

Bath Rugby prop David Wilson has again been named among the replacements for England’s RBS 6 Nations showdown with France at Twickenham on Saturday (5pm).

England head coach Stuart Lancaster has opted to make three changes to the side that beat Ireland 12-6 in Dublin, with Northampton Saints pair Dylan Hartley and Courtney Lawes and Leicester Tigers centre Manu Tuilagi all returning to the starting XV.

Hartley and Lawes replace Tom Youngs and James Haskell while Tuilagi takes over from Gloucester’s Billy Twelvetrees, with all three joining Wilson on the bench.

Lancaster said: “We thought long and hard about changing a winning team which did so well against Ireland. But we believe that Dylan, Courtney and Manu are ready for the opportunity and allow us to vary our play, while the bench will add impact and energy as the game unfolds in the second half.

"The players are really looking forward to getting back to Twickenham. The atmosphere in the stadium is fantastic and hopefully the crowd can get behind us in what is sure to be a great challenge against a motivated and physical French team."

Bath utility back Ollie Devoto is also on the bench for England under-20s' meeting with their French counterparts at Worcester on Saturday (3pm).

Front-rower Tom Dunn, meanwhile, has been named among the replacements for England Students' clash with France Universities at Richmond Athletic Ground tomorrow night (7.30pm).
