Robinson names squad to face Wales

England boss Andy Robinson has named a revised 27-man squad to prepare for Saturday’s RBS 6 Nations opener against Wales at Twickenham.

Robinson has cut nine players from his original party, including four who are sidelined by injury – Pat Sanderson (back), Olly Barkley (dislocated thumb), Mark Van Gisbergen (sprained foot) and George Chuter (knee sprain).
