James Hook has been ruled out of Wales's Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham on Saturday.

The utility-back had been suffering with chicken pox and it was hoped that his condition would improve.

"Wales took the decision after medical advice that Hook was unlikely to recover from chickenpox in time," a WRU statement read.

Hook is replaced on the bench by Test veteran Stephen Jones.
