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.
Tuilagi's midfield presence could evidence crucial |
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.
