JOE Simpson and Rob Webber have been named in the England Six Nations squad, while Joe Launchbury has been promoted from the U20s to the Saxons.

With Danny Care left out for disciplinary reasons, Simpson will hope the new management give him more of a look-in than he had at the World Cup, while Webber’s promotion from the Saxons means he is in line for his first full England cap.

Webber said: "There are some very talented players competing in my position so I have my work cut out for me but I recognise what a big opportunity this is for me and one I am hoping I can take the chance with both hands.”

However, Riki Flutey and Tim Payne have both missed out in Stuart Lancaster's new-look squad.
