The following twelve players have been released by Martin Johnson for this weekend’s domestic fixtures, meaning they won’t be involved for England on Saturday.

There are no huge surprises, apart from Riki Flutey perhaps, but it looks as though England will pick the same team that beat Wales last week.

Nick Abendanon (Bath Rugby)
George Chuter (Leicester Tigers)
Alex Corbisiero (London Irish)
Paul Doran-Jones (Gloucester Rugby)
Phil Dowson (Northampton Saints)
Riki Flutey (London Wasps)
Charlie Hodgson (Sale Sharks)
Joe Simpson (London Wasps)
James Simpson-Daniel (Gloucester Rugby)
George Skivington (Leicester Tigers)
David Strettle (Saracens)
Joe Worsley (London Wasps)
