Daly and Sinckler added to training group

ENGLAND have called Elliot Daly and Kyle Sinckler into their training squad for the first time in this year’s NatWest Six Nations.

The pair are present among a group of 27 players who will be involved in camps scattered across Oxford, Bagshot, Leicester, Saracens and Wasps because of the sub-zero weather conditions.

Wasps’ Daly is recovering from a calf problem sustained after he had injured his ankle, the ailment that prevented him from appearing in the victories over Italy and Wales.

Sinckler has overcome a torn hamstring to make his comeback for Harlequins and is now in contention to supply tighthead cover for prop Dan Cole.

All 23 of the matchday squad that lost 25-13 to Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday are present, with the addition of James Haskell and Charlie Ewels lifting the number to 27.

England have said that the focus of the training camps will be on reconditioning rather than rugby.

Scotland No 8 Ryan Wilson has been cited for making contact with the eye area of England’s Nathan Hughes.

The alleged offence took place shortly before half-time at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Television cameras caught the back rows clashing off the ball with Wilson, who was pinned to the floor, raking his right hand across the right side of Hughes’s face.

Wilson must appear before a Six Nations disciplinary hearing tomorrow to answer for an offence that carries a low-end sanction of a four-week ban, rising to 12-plus weeks.

Wilson was involved in a tunnel scuffle with Owen Farrell before the match, but Six Nations Rugby is seeking clarification on that incident through the unions.

England flanker Sam Underhill has escaped a citing after being shown a yellow card for a noarms tackle in the latter stages of the match.
