England will play Austin Healey at fullback for the Six Nations match against Wales because Jason Robinson is injured with a stomach strain.

Healey has played on the wing and at scrumhalf, but he has little club or international experience at fullback.

Coach Clive Woodward has made three changes for the game at Twickenham on Saturday from the team that started against France.

Flanker Lewis Moody comes in the back row, with Joe Worsley dropped to the bench. Dan Luger is selected on the wing to replace Healey. Prop Julian White is brought in instead of Phil Vickery.
