Danny Cipriani, Nick Easter named in England training squad for Six Nations

Danny Cipriani and Nick Easter have been recalled to the England training squad for the Six Nations.

Sale Sharks fly-half Cipriani last played for his country back in 2008, while Easter has not featured since 2011.

Bath centre Jonathan Joseph is included as a replacement for the injured Manu Tuilagi, who is likely to miss the majority of the tournament with a groin problem.

Alex Corbisiero, Mako Vunipola, Tom Youngs and Geoff Parling all come back into the fold after being sidelined for last year's Autumn Internationals.

Meanwhile, Chris Ashton and Sam Burgess are among those who have been named in the England Saxons squad to face Ireland Wolfhounds.

England get their Six Nations campaign underway against Wales in Cardiff on February 6.

England training squad for Six Nations:

Forwards: Attwood, Clark, Cole, Corbisiero, Easter, Hartley, Haskell, Kitchener, Kruis, Marler, Parling, Robshaw, B Vunipola, M Vunipola, Wilson, Wood, T Youngs

Backs: Barritt, Brown, Burrell, Care, Cipriani, Eastmond, Farrell, Forde, Goode, Joseph, May, Myler, Nowell, Twelvetrees, Watson, Wigglesworth, B Youngs
