Danny Cipriani and Nick Easter have been recalled by England for the Six Nations opener against Wales, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) has confirmed after announcing the training squad.



Head coach Stuart Lancaster is without the injured Ben Morgan and Ben Foden for the tournament, with Chris Robshaw captain.

Sale fly-half Cipriani has not started a game for England at No.10 since 2008, per Alex Spink of the Mirror, but he did feature on last summer’s tour of New Zealand.



He has scored 144 points for Sale this season, per the club’s official website, and Mick Cleary of The Telegraph feels Cipriani’s recall is deserved. Cleary writes:

“Cipriani is still seen as something of an enfant terrible in the public eye. The rugby eye views things differently. He has been doing the hard yards for Sale for two-and-a-half years.”

Easter, meanwhile, has not featured for England since the 2011 World Cup, but the 36-year-old will provide experienced back-up at No.8 in the absence of Morgan.

Recent rugby union convert Sam Burgess, meanwhile, has been named in the England Saxons squad to face Ireland Wolfhounds.



England, who have won the Six Nations tournament just once since 2003, per the competition's official website, face Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Friday, Feb. 6.

Italy come next at Twickenham followed by an away date with Ireland. The campaign concludes at home to Scotland and then France. England’s full Six Nations schedule can be found via the RFU’s official website.

There is plenty of talent in the England squad for the Six Nations and we take a look at three who could have a big say in the tournament.
