England coach Eddie Jones has recalled Gloucester fly-half Danny Cipriani in the second World Cup training camp that will be conducted over five days at The Lensbury Hotel in London.

Cipriani last played for England during the summer series in South Africa last year but was overlooked for the autumn series and the Six Nations despite impressing for the Cherry and Whites.

Northampton Saints pair Piers Francis and Courtney Lawes along with Gloucester duo Willi Heinz and Ollie Thorley are also added to the squad while Harlequins duo Kyle Sinckler and Marcus Smith will return to their club next week.

Meanwhile, injured trio Jack Nowell, George Kruis and Mako Vunipola will also join the camp to continue their rehabilitation.

“It has been a really positive week, we have worked on our fundamentals of the game, a little bit of physical conditioning and I am really pleased with the attitude of the players," said Jones.

"They have all come back from their leave in excellent condition and the best I have seen in the time I have been with England.

“Next week we will add some players and be looking to improve our physical conditioning, ability to understand how we want to play the game and start to increase the pressure at training.

"We have a couple of players going back to their clubs as we feel it is in their best interests in terms of the World Cup to do that, and we will consider their participation in the squad further down the track.”
