Stuart Lancaster has kept faith in his 23 Cardiff hero to take on Italy in the second round of the Six Nations on Saturday.
Midfield pair Kyle Eastmond and Brad Barritt had returned to camp on Sunday after recovering from injury but the head coach has resisted temptation to make any changes to his matchday squad rewarding the players who beat Wales 21-16 with a second consecutive game.
Lancaster said: “We’ll name the team on Thursday but we’ve gone for the same squad that played against Wales as we look to build consistent performances. There are many players pushing hard for selection and we are looking forward to watching their club games this weekend.”
