One in, one out for England

As one Exeter Chiefs player departed the England training camp today, so another was called up as Eddie Jones prepared his side for Saturday’s NatWest Six Nations clash with France.

An ankle injury sustained in training has forced winger Jack Nowell out of contention for the game at the Stade de France and most likely next week’s home encounter with Ireland, but fellow Cornishman and club-mate Luke Cowan-Dickie could feature after he was summoned to Pennyhill Park to help with preparations for the game.

With a doubt over England captain Dylan Hartley, Cowan-Dickie was tonight named in a 27-man squad, which also includes Exeter’s Sam Simmonds and Harry Williams, that will prepare for the game.
