• Dylan Hartley returns, Michael Rhodes included for first time
Chris Ashton has made an immediate return to the England fold following his summer move to Sale, having been included in Eddie Jones’s 44-man pre-season training squad.
Ashton has not played for England since the summer of 2014 and his international career appeared over following his move to Toulon at the end of last season. After a record-breaking campaign in France however, Ashton secured early release to return to the Premiership and reignite his England ambitions and it has immediately paid dividends.
