Warburton returns for Wales

Captain Sam Warburton has recovered from a dead leg to be named in Wales's starting lineup to face England this weekend.

Also making a return to the team is Alun Wyn Jones, who will earn his 60th cap for the Dragons at Twickenham.

There was also a fitness doubt over the availability of George North, but the 19-year-old has shrugged off a muscular complaint.
