Slater, Burrell added to England squad

England head coach Eddie Jones has added Ed Slater and Luther Burrell to his 33-man training squad ahead of next weekend's Six Nations clash with Wales at Twickenham.

Leicester Tigers forward Slater replaces Courtney Lawes in the squad after he picked up an ankle injury during Northampton Saints' win over Saracens which could keep him out for the rest of the tournament.

Lawes's club teammate Burrell is also in as an injury replacement, with Marland Yarde out due to a shoulder injury sustained as his Harlequins side fell to Sale.

Leicester centre Manu Tuilagi is also amongst those in the squad as he looks to make his return to the international stage following a lengthy injury, despite Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill claiming that he is not yet ready.

England will welcome Wales to Twickenham knowing that a victory, coupled with a win for Scotland against France, would see them crowned Six Nations champions with a game to spare.
