No. 8 Sam Simmonds is not exercising due to a hip problem and Alfie Barbeary has been called up. The uncapped back row of Wasps is shot along with London Irish striker Tom Pearson.

Lockdown Nick Isiekwe has been excluded from the squad after first-round losses to Scotland and Sunday's win over Italy.

Jonny Hill in the second row is recovering from a calf injury, while Joe Launchbury is back in training after making his last appearance in England with an injury just over a year ago.

Ellis Genge and double capped Bevan Rodd are the two loose selections in the group, with Marler and Isiekwe both available for their clubs Harlequins and Saracens on weekends.

England forwards: George, Itoje, Launchbury, Pearson, Barbeary, Cowan-Dickie, Rodd, Sinckler, Stuart Curry, Dombrandt, Chessum, Ewels, and Genge.

Backs: Daly, Ford, Nowell, Randall, Slade, Tuilagi, Youngs, Malins, Marchant, Smith, Steward.

Waiting for Lawes to remain available

After an unsatisfactory defeat to Scotland in the opener, England's extra-point win in Rome puts them in second place in the Six Nations.

With France as the only undefeated team at this event, Tuilagi's midfield presence could evidence crucial if they are to compete for the title.

Tuilagi has awestruck Sale since a hamstring torn, while Lawes - a previous favourite to take over in the absence of Owen Farrell - has been with North since January 16. Ampton has recovered from a concussion he sustained while playing.

"We expect Courtney Lawes to be in full preparation by the finished of next week," Jones said on Sunday.

Launchbury returned to the Wasps after knee surgery and was briefly called up to England ahead of the Italian match, but was released afterwards.

Jones is also hoping for a quick return for Lewis Ludlam after a rib injury, but the flanker has not been included in the final training squad.
