Prop Joe Marler will start England's final Six Nations encounter of 2016 against France in Paris among the replacements.

Joe Marler has dropped down to the bench for England's final Six Nations game against France on Saturday afternoon.

The prop was cleared to play last night following two separate disciplinary investigations into his conduct during the 25-21 win over Wales at the weekend.

However, despite the 25-year-old's availability, head coach Eddie Jones has only named him among the replacements.

Ben Youngs has also been omitted from the starting lineup, with Danny Care and Mako Vunipola both included.

England team to face Wales: Mike Brown, Anthony Watson, Jonathan Joseph , Owen Farrell, Jack Nowell, George Ford, Danny Care, Mako Vunipola, Dylan Hartley, Dan Cole, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Chris Robshaw, James Haskell, Billy Vunipola.

Replacements: Luke Cowan-Dickie, Joe Marler, Kieran Brookes, Joe Launchbury, Jack Clifford, Ben Youngs, Manu Tuilagi, Elliot Daly
