England have called Elliot Daly and Kyle Sinckler into their training squad for the first time in this year's Six Nations.

The pair are present among a group of 27 players who will be involved in camps scattered across Oxford, Bagshot, Leicester, Saracens and Wasps because of the sub-zero weather conditions.

Wasps' Daly is recovering from a calf problem sustained after he had injured his ankle, the ailment that prevented him from appearing in the victories over Italy and Wales.

Sinckler has overcome a torn hamstring to make his comeback for Harlequins and is now in contention to supply tighthead cover for prop Dan Cole.

All 23 of the matchday squad that lost 25-13 to Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday are present, with the addition of James Haskell and Charlie Ewels lifting the number to 27.
