​Bath Rugby's Shontayne Hape has been promoted to England's matchday squad for tomorrow's RBS Six Nations opener with Wales following an injury to Riki Flutey.

Toby Flood will replace Flutey at inside centre after the Brive player took a knock to his right thigh in training yesterday, and Hape moves up to the replacements' bench.

Hape has beaten Leicester's Dan Hipkiss to a place in the matchday 22.
