Six Saints players named in England squad for three-day York training camp

And scrum-half Alex Mitchell is also in camp as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.

Alex Coles, Tom Pearson, Fin Smith, Fraser Dingwall, Tommy Freeman and George Furbank are all included by Red Rose boss Steve Borthwick.

England have won two and lost one so far in this year's Guinness Six Nations.

Freeman and Furbank started in the defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield last Saturday, with Furbank scoring his first England try in that match.

Next up for Borthwick's side is a clash with Grand Slam-chasing Ireland at Twickenham on March 9 before the final match of the tournament, in France on March 16.
