England's Sam Burgess and Brad Barrett set to face Wales

England are set to overhaul their midfield by bringing in Sam Burgess and Owen Farrell for Saturday’s critical World Cup showdown at Twickenham with the aim of meeting Wales’ power game head-on.

Burgess and Brad Barritt are ready to forge a new centre combination after Jonathan Joseph was ruled out of the Pool A clash with a chest injury, while Farrell has been picked ahead of George Ford at fly-half.
