No places for Dylan Hartley, Danny Care, Nathan Hughes and Chris Robshaw. Interesting to see Dombrant in there after a good season, think it's justified though as he played well against the baa baas too.

Forwards: Dan Cole, Tom Curry, Alex Dombrant, Tom Dunn, Charlie Ewels, Ellis Genge, Joe Launchbury, Lewis Ludlam, Val Rapava Ruskin, Nick Schonert, Brad Shields, Jack Singleton, Sam Underhill, Mark Wilson.

Backs: Chris Ashton, Mike Brown, Joe Cokanasiga, Elliot Daly, George Ford, Jonathan Joseph, Jonny May, Ruaridh McConnochie, Dan Robson, Marcus Smith, Ben Te'o, Manu Tuilagi, Anthony Watson, Ben Youngs.

Could it have been a premonition?

Chris Ashton has withdrawn from the squad to be with his pregnant wife.

Not sure if that is permanent withdrawal and missing world cup or not. He has not been replaced in the squad.

Still two though... Mark Wilson, on loan for a year from Falcons, is listed as a Sale Sharks player.

Doubt it.

It’s not like he’d played any games after injury last year but got picked straight into the England squad anyway...

Will Ben T'eo get dropped from the squad, now that he's without a club ?
I think Jason Robinson played in 07 when he was clubless

Haven't the RFU made the "rule" that you have to be playing in England to represent England ?
I can recal the fudge job that was made when Brad Shields played for England before he'd played for Wasps (if my memory is working), but he did have a Wasps contract waiting for him.

I thought you couldn’t be playing in another league.
