ELLIOT DALY HAS returned to England’s Six Nations squad ahead of next weekend’s crunch clash against France, while Sam Simmonds and Kyle Sinckler are also back in a 33-man party after regaining fitness.
Wasps winger Daly played no part in England’s first three matches due to a combination of ankle and calf injuries, but has expressed hope he will be fit to play in next weekend’s contest in Paris.

Prop Sinckler is also named, with the Harlequins front-rower having not played a part in the tournament thus far due to a hamstring problem.
England training squad
Forwards: Dan Cole, Charlie Ewels, Jamie George, Dylan Hartley, James Haskell, Nathan Hughes, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Courtney Lawes, Joe Launchbury, Joe Marler, Zach Mercer, Chris Robshaw, Sam Simmonds, Kyle Sinckler, Sam Underhill, Mako Vunipola, Harry Williams.
