Danny Cipriani earns England recall to Summer Tour training squad

“Tour places are still up for grabs and I expect the players in this camp, as well as those involved in the play-offs, to continue to make their case for selection.”

Fresh faces called upon

Bath locks Dave Attwood and Charlie Ewels, Sale full back Mike Haley, Northampton Saints flanker Teimana Harrison, London Irish winger Alex Lewington, Harlequins prop Kyle Sinckler and Newcastle Falcons scrum half Micky Young are new names selected by Jones.

England play Wales at Twickenham on Sunday, May 29th – the day after the Aviva Premiership Grand Final, before jetting out Down Under for a three-Test Tour.

With so many Red Rose regulars playing for clubs that are part of the end-of-season play-offs, the final squad that travels to Australia may bear little resemblance to this training party.

Northampton hooker and national captain Dylan Hartley has managed to prove his fitness, however, despite suffering a concussion against France when winning the Grand Slam.

Already installed as 11/8 favourites with Coral to successfully retain the Six Nations title next year, England are – Wales apart – spending the rest of 2016 testing themselves against Southern Hemisphere opposition.
