Danny Cipriani and Nick Easter look likely to start on the bench in England's Six Nations opener against Wales on Friday, according to reports.

Fly-half Cipriani will provide cover for George Ford, while number eight Easter will not be selected in the starting XV, according to BBC Sport.

Head coach Stuart Lancaster has already lost six players to injury, with David Wilson the latest player to withdraw from the match. Owen Farrell has been ruled out of the entire Six Nations campaign.

Lancaster will announce his starting XV on Wednesday morning.
