Henry Slade called up by England

Henry Slade has been included by Stuart Lancaster in the England squad preparing to face Scotland in the Six Nations clash on Saturday after Brad Barritt was ruled out of the reminder of the tournament with an ankle sprain.
The Exeter Chiefs fly-half, 21, replaces unlucky Barritt after the Saracens centre who suffered an ankle sprain against Wasps on Sunday.
Leicester flanker Tom Croft and Bath tighthead Henry Thomas have also been ruled out for the rest of the Championship after suffering a dislocated shoulder and shoulder strain respectively.
Locks Geoff Parling and Courtney Lawes both completed their second 80-minute performances in as many weeks for their clubs and they are among a number of players pushing for inclusion after the 19-9 defeat to Ireland in Dublin last time out.
“The weekend’s games gave us plenty to think about in terms of looking at guys who will have benefitted from the additional game time,” said Lancaster. “It’s unfortunate that Brad was injured but Henry has been playing well for Exeter and it’s good to be able to call him in. We also wish Tom and Henry all the best for their recovery.”
Lancaster also outlined positive news on full-back Mike Brown, who suffered concussion during the 47-17 victory over Italy, centre Luther Burrell and Kieran Brookes.
“Mike trained fully last Friday while Luther and Brookes should be fit to train tomorrow. We are looking forward to two full days of training before we announce the side on Wednesday.
“Sam Burgess will also come into camp to further his experience of this environment as Bath have no game at the weekend.”
