Cardiff Blues scrum-half Lloyd Williams will make his first Wales start for four years in Saturday's Autumn Nations Cup clash against England.

And flanker James Botham â€“ grandson of England cricket great Sir Ian Botham â€“ retains his place in a back-row missing Justin Tipuric and Josh Navidi.

Tipuric suffered a head knock during the victory over Georgia last weekend, and Navidi remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from concussion.

Williams, who has won 30 caps, partners Dan Biggar at half-back, with Botham moving from blindside to openside flanker following a promising Test debut in the Georgia game.
