With Owen Farrell has been reigned out of the Championship, Courtney Lawes is the fill as captain's favourite. Newcastle's number 8 Callum Chick has been called up to train with the team.

"Courtney Lawes has no options as he continues to work to complete his return to the gameplay rules," said a Rugby Association statement.

Tom Curry remains captain after he sidelined Lawes in nonappearance in Scotland's first loss at Murray Field last weekend.

Temporarily, there is no place for veteran Joe Launchbury, who was only reminded to the team earlier this week as injury cover for Lewis Ludlam.

Launchbury will return to the Wasps as he continues his recovers from the knee injury he continued in April.

Somewhere else, the absence of striker Mark Atkinson means England will either keep midfield duo Henry Slade and Elliot Daly or put Slade alongside Joe Marchand.
