Figure image

Leicester Tigers trio Ollie Chessum, Joe Heyes and Jack van Poortvliet have retained their spots in England's match day squad for the final round of the Guinness Six Nations. 

England face Wales at 4:45pm on Saturday with hopes of a Championship title still intact, though results will have to go their way in the other fixtures.

Chessum, who was man of the match in England's victory against Italy last time out, will wear the number five jersey once again, with Heyes and van Poortvliet included in the finishers.
