Northampton prop Paul Doran-Jones has joined the England squad preparing for next week's RBS 6 Nations clash against unbeaten leaders Wales at Twickenham.

The 26-year-old former Gloucester tighthead is a temporary replacement for Bath's David Wilson, who has a jaw injury.

Doran-Jones is among 31 players training until Thursday of this week at England's Bagshot base in Surrey.

England and Wales have both collected a maximum four points from their first two Six Nations games, but Wales have a narrowly superior points difference.
