England’s Tuilagi, Cowan-Dickie, Martin back for Scotland clash

England have been strengthened as Manu Tuilagi, Luke Cowan-Dickie and George Martin are all back in the mix to face Scotland on February 24 in the Six Nations.

England are two from two in this year's championship after beating Italy 27-24 in Rome and then Wales 16-14 at Twickenham. Next up is their Calcutta Cup clash against Scotland in Edinburgh, and Steve Borthwick's side have welcomed back three key figures to their 36-man squad.

Center Tuilagi has been out since suffering a groin injury against Sale Sharks Saracens on December 22, while versatile forward Martin is suffering from a knee injury. Hooker Cowan-Dickie was also sidelined.

But it appears Borthwick will have to wait a little longer to field Ollie Lawrence and Marcus Smith who will be with the squad when they meet on Wednesday, but only to continue rehabilitation from their respective injuries.

With Tuilagi, Cowan-Dickie and Martin all added, Jamie Blamire, Tom Pearson and Oscar Beard remove themselves from the mix.
