Manu Tuilagi, Toby Flood and Thomas Waldrom have been released from England's training camp and will return to Leicester Tigers ahead of this weekend's Aviva Premiership action.

Tuilagi returned from a hamstring injury to start for Tigers in last week’s match against Exeter Chiefs, while Flood made his first start since his recovery from a knee injury. Waldrom has been training with the England Elite Player Squad through the Six Nations but is yet to win his first senior cap.

Dan Cole, Tom Croft, Geoff Parling and Ben Youngs remain with the England squad.

The England management released a total of 15 players who will be available for Aviva Premiership Round 15 this weekend, while back-rower Ben Morgan will be available to the Scarlets, and lock Tom Palmer has been training with Stade Francais.

“It’s important that we support the clubs and also that players get some game time so we can see where they are really up to in terms of fitness and form before we head into a Test week against Wales,” said England interim head coach Stuart Lancaster.

Unbeaten England have also confirmed Chris Robshaw of Harlequins as captain for the rest of the 2012 RBS 6 Nations.
