Rugby news - England prepare for life without Mako Vunipola ahead of Wales clash

With prop Mako Vunipola ruled out through injury, Jones included Exeter Chiefs' Ben Moon with Leicester's Ellis Genge providing additional cover at loosehead.

Lock Maro Itoje and hooker Dylan Hartley were not named in the list of 25 players but will join up with the squad to continue their rehabilitation from injury, the Rugby Football Union said in a statement on Wednesday.

Scrumhalf Dan Robson, who won his first cap against France on Sunday, has been released to play for Wasps against Bristol this Friday in the English Premiership.

Robson, an unused substitute in England's opening game against Ireland, came off the bench against France at Twickenham.

Exeter centre Ollie Devoto was a surprise inclusion in the squad, having previously only played five minutes for England as a replacement against Wales in 2016.
