Chiefs duo in England squad

 




Exeter Chiefs duo Jack Nowell and Thomas Waldrom are among 34 players who have been recalled by England head coach Stuart Lancaster to prepare for Saturday’s final QBE International against Australia at Twickenham Stadium (2.30pm, live on Sky Sports HD).

No.8 Thomas Waldrom, who has scored seven tries in eight Aviva Premiership games this season, replaces Billy Vunipola after the Saracens man suffered concussion in Saracens’ defeat to Northampton Saints at the weekend.

Nowell, meanwhile, is also included after his brace of tries in Exeter's 31-15 victory over Wasps at Sandy Park on Saturday. It was the Cornishman's first top flight scores since April 2013 when, ironically, he scored in his side's away win at Wasps.

Elsewhere, fly-half Stephen Myler, who kicked 16 points for Saints in their weekend victory, regains a place in the squad after a hamstring strain. Courtney Lawes (also Northampton Saints) continues to be treated in camp for a knee injury suffered against Samoa.

England won their first match of the autumn against Samoa last Saturday, with tries from Jonny May (two) and Mike Brown securing the 28-9 victory.
