The England revolution

Chris Foy, of the Daily Mail, reports that 13 members of the squad which journeyed to the 2011 World Cup are likely to be axed by Stuart Lancaster in Wednesday's EPS announcement.

"Stuart Lancaster will confirm his overhaul of the England set-up on Wednesday when he reveals a 32-man squad awash with emerging young talent and minus 13 of the players who were at the World Cup.

Of the 32 names expected to be included in the senior group to be revealed at lunchtime, 15 were not in New Zealand for a campaign which ended in quarter-final defeat after a catalogue of off-field dramas.

As revealed in Sportsmail, veterans Mike Tindall, Nick Easter and Mark Cueto are not among the chosen men for a Six Nations which will act as the first step towards the home World Cup in 2015."
