Burns back in England fold

Freddie Burns returns to the 33-man England squad following his two appearances for England Saxons to prepare for Saturday’s Six Nations match against Scotland at Murrayfield.

Jonny May suffered a fracture to his nose in the 24-26 loss against France on Saturday and will see a specialist on Monday for further assessment.

A decision on his availability for selection against Scotland will be made following that examination.

Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints) suffered a bruised cheekbone but no structural damage and will be available for selection.

While Burns rejoins the squad, Stephen Myler (Northampton Saints), Rob Webber (Bath) and Richard Wigglesworth (Saracens) remain with their Premiership clubs.
