Five more for English Tigers

Figure image
Leicester Tigers have five players in Brian Ashton's squad once again as England go in search of the Six Nations title in Cardiff.

Harry Ellis, George Chuter, Julian White and Martin Corry all retain their places in the starting XV after impressing in the 26-18 win against France at Twickenham last Sunday.

Tigers colleague Louis Deacon, who is named among the replacements for the second week running, will hope to be given an opportunity to press his claims for a starting place the next time Ashton announces his England side.

Sale's Mark Cueto is selected at full back, with Newcastle's Matthew Tait chosen to replace the injured Mike Tindall in midfield. Jamie Noon replaces Tait on the bench in the only other change to the 22.
