Rhys Webb has been drafted into the Wales squad for Saturday's Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham.

The Ospreys scrum-half has not played for his country since September 2015 when he damaged an ankle in a World Cup warm-up match against Italy and was ruled out of the tournament.

Webb made his comeback for Ospreys in the Pro12 in mid-February and has impressed in his three matches to boost the options of Wales head coach Warren Gatland.

Webb was Gatland's first-choice No 9 prior to injury but Gareth Davies has grabbed his chance with alacrity, scoring six tries in eight Tests.
