Powerhouse duo back in England Six Nations squad
SQUAD UPDATE: Manu Tuilagi and Courtney Lawes have been included in Eddie Jones’ 25-man England squad for a Six Nations training camp in London.
Sale centre Tuilagi returned to club action at the weekend after recovering from a hamstring issue, while Northampton forward Lawes has been sidelined due to a head injury.
“Manu Tuilagi returns to the squad after injury,” England Rugby said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Sam Simmonds will not take part in training this week as part of the management of an ongoing hip issue and will be rehabbing in camp.
“Courtney Lawes and Jonny Hill will also join up with the squad. Lawes will continue to work through return-to-play protocols and Jonny Hill is undergoing rehab on a fibula injury.”
England, 33-0 winners against Italy in Rome on Sunday, take on Wales at Twickenham in their next Six Nations match on February 26.
