Hide AdBurrell will make his first appearance for England since his controversial omission from the World Cup squad in August.
The match will not involve players from Saracens or Exeter, who play in the Aviva Premiership Final on Saturday, and coach Eddie Jones says the absence of those players present a ‘a great opportunity’ for others.
“This will serve to strengthen the squad’s depth as we move towards the 2019 World Cup,” said Jones.
“We’ve picked a side we believe can beat Wales. It’s a good mixture of experienced players and youth.
