England name 25 man squad for 6 Nations off week
England head coach Eddie Jones has recalled 25 players for a three-day training camp in central London beginning today.
Maro Itoje and Dylan Hartley also join up with the squad to continue their rehabilitation.
Exeter Chiefs' Ben Moon and Leicester's Ellis Genge provide cover at prop for the injured Mako Vunipola.
Ollie Devoto also comes into the squad having only played five minutes for England back in 2016, coming off the bench against Wales.
The biggest win over France since 1911 has cranked up expectation surrounding the showdown in Cardiff, as England look to continue their stunning start to World Cup year.
Wales now the only other Six Nations team with a 100 per cent record after posting wins against France and Italy.

How do you feel about Schmidts progress now?
When you say turners then around - they were horrendous and got absolutely pumped by wales at the World Cup and by Argentina recently
So it’s not hard to improve from that
And now they play a decent side (albeit still not top four) and get pumped 4 tries to 1
The ABs have their own issues but I’ll take our 6 class props and other areas of improvement every day
Go to commentsUmaga-Jensen at 26 has the attributes of a 2nd-5 and has moved past injuries that hampered his earlier elevation to AB status. I agree with TI that we persist with playing people out of position and ignore the best positional players from selection.
