Haskell handed England call up

Uncapped Wasps flanker James Haskell has been named in a 28-man England training squad for the RBS 6 Nations clash against title favourites France at Twickenham.

Haskell will join 21 of the players on duty when England were crushed by Ireland at Croke Park last weekend – injured Gloucester full-back Olly Morgan is the exception – plus Mark Cueto, Jason Robinson, Mike Catt, Tim Payne, Steve Borthwick and Nick Easter.
