The Sunday Telegraph's Paul Ackford picks over the forthcoming EPS squad.
"England's interim coach Stuart Lancaster has a difficult job picking the England squad ahead of the Six Nations.
Injuries
Andrew Sheridan and Richard Wigglesworth are both long-term crocked. Louis Deacon, Manu Tuilagi, Courtney Lawes and Toby Flood are all also carrying injuries of varying seriousness.
Regulations require most to be named in squads for later matches, but availability for selection against Scotland on.
Feb 4 could be severely hit. Anyone playing well at loose head prop, openside or lock has a big chance."
