Wales are considering naming Scarlets centre Joe Roberts on the wing for the Six Nations finale against England on Saturday.

There are expected to be minimal starting changes when interim head coach names his side on Thursday with Aaron Wainwright in line to start in the back-row alongside Jac Morgan and Taulupe Faletau.

Roberts, 24, has not started a professional game on the wing but impressed after coming as a 10th minute replacement for Tom Rogers in the 35-29 loss to Scotland at Murrayfield.

Rogers was ruled out of the England game after suffering a fractured thumb, while Josh Adams is still missing after sustaining a hamstring injury in training and has not featured since the opening two Six Nations games.

Full-back Liam Williams had been ruled out of the tournament after he suffered a knee injury in the competition opener against France.

Sherratt opted not to call up any reinforcements this week with Gloucester wing Josh Hathaway the only specialist option remaining but Roberts is set to fill the role on Saturday.

Cardiff full-back Cameron Winnett and Dragons wing Rio Dyer have been overlooked for this campaign.

Wales have been beaten in all four games in the 2025 Six Nations campaign are bidding to avoid a 17th successive Test defeat and 11th Six Nations loss on the bounce.

They have also lost their previous eight home games in Cardiff and been defeated in the past eight Six Nations matches at the Principality Stadium.

Wales' previous Test match victory came against 2023 World Cup pool opponents Georgia, and Warren Gatland departed as head coach following a dismal 22-15 loss to Italy in February with Sherratt in charge for the final three games of the tournament.

In contrast, England will arrive at the Principality Stadium as title contenders, although a France victory over Scotland later on Saturday night should guarantee Les Bleus Six Nations silverware.
