Marler, Daly back in England squad

Rugby

Joe Marler and Elliot Daly have rejoined England’s squad for the Autumn Nations Cup after recovering from injury, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said on Saturday.

Scrum-half Alex Mitchell has also been named in the 36-man squad for England’s opening test against Georgia at Twickenham Stadium on Nov. 14, but Jack Singleton (hamstring) and Anthony Watson (ankle) will both miss the game.

Billy Vunipola is set to join up with his teammates on Sunday, after the birth of his son earlier this week, the RFU added.

England host Ireland in their second test on Nov. 21, before travelling to Wales for their final group game on Nov. 28. Eddie Jones’ side play their final test, which will determine their Nations Cup place, at Twickenham on Dec. 6.
