Jonathan Joseph has been named in England’s 27-man squad for a training week in Oxford after he was left out against Italy.

Of the matchday 23 at Twickenham last Sunday, Henry Slade is the only player omitted while Anthony Watson, Ellis Genge, Paul Hill and Mike Williams are also called up.

That quartet, Mako Vunipola and Kyle Sinckler will be released to play for their Premiership clubs at the weekend.

There is no place yet for Billy Vunipola, who took an active part in Saracens’ training on Tuesday.
