THE England squad reported at Pennyhill Park this evening to prepare for Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations match against France at Stade de France.

There are no changes to the 35 players who trained last week.

The England Saxons squad to play against Scotland A in Scotstoun, Glasgow on Friday will meet at Loughborough University tomorrow evening (Monday) and be announced at 6pm.

Freddie Burns (Gloucester Rugby) will remain with the Saxons and England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: “We feel Freddie will benefit by staying with the Saxons. It allows him more game time and it provides continuity in the squad as they prepare to face Scotland A.”
