There are just two Cardiff Blues representatives in the Welsh squad which faces a much stronger looking England side following last week’s encouraging loss at Twickenham.
Sam Warburton captains the Wales for the 3rd consecutive match, with hooker Matthew Rees still out, while centre Jamie Roberts is the only other Blues player in Warren Gatland’s 22.
There is a start for controversial star Gavin Henson, who faces perhaps his last chance to make a Rugby World Cup squad, while the impressive Rhys Priestland continues at outside half.
James Hook; George North; Jamie Roberts, Gavin Henson; Shane Williams; Rhys Priestland, Mike Phillips; Paul James, Lloyd Burns, Craig Mitchell, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton, Toby Faletau
Huw Bennett, Ryan Bevington, Josh Turnbull, Justin Tipuric, Tavis Knoyle, Scott Williams, Aled Brew

There was an interview with Gats the other day and he mentioned that Delve has an issue with his knee and is not as fit as the other guys but they are going to watch him at the Bath game.
