La Gaceta De Mexico - England call up Daly for injured Tuilagi against Wales

Utility back Daly will slot into midfield alongside Henry Slade, with Joe Marchant -- called into the England squad on Thursday -- taking Daly's place on the bench.

Tuilagi, whose career has been blighted by injuries, was withdrawn with a hamstring problem on Thursday -- a few hours after Jones had named his original squad to play reigning Six Nations champions Wales.

England had hoped this match would mark Tuilagi's return to Test rugby following three months out with a hamstring injury suffered in a tense 27-26 win over South Africa at Twickenham in November -- a match where he scored a try against the world champions.

This hamstring injury is on the same side as the one he suffered against the Springboks.

Saturday's match is effectively a 'must-win' game for both England and Wales, who've each lost once already in the opening two rounds, if they are to retain a realistic chance of taking this season's Six Nations title.
