Manu Tuilagi's hopes of representing England in this year's tournament are not yet over despite a red card while on club duty for Sale Sharks in their 38-34 defeat to Northampton Saints on Saturday, although the centre has not been named by Borthwick for Saturday's contest in Cardiff.
Tuilagi has since accepted foul play and been handed a four-match ban which will be reduced to three weeks if the player completes the World Rugby Coaching Intervention Programme, which would make him available for England's last Six Nations match against Ireland on March 18.
It was teased earlier this week that Lawes could make his return, with coach Richard Cockerill saying there would be "no concern" over picking the England star.
"Courtney has done parts of training this week. He'll take full part tomorrow (Thursday) and next week he should be taking full part in training. Hopefully he'll be available for selection," Cockerill said.
