Uncapped players Paul Hodgson and Luke Narraway are to remain with the England training squad preparing for next week's RBS 6 Nations Championship opener against Wales.

London Irish scrum-half Hodgson and Gloucester back-row forward Narraway, together with Bath flanker Michael Lipman, were called up for training at Twickenham last Monday.

And they will be among a 33-man group that assembles in Bath on Sunday night ahead of the Wales clash.

Irish scrum-half Peter Richards (biceps) and Wasps flanker Joe Worsley (neck) have already been ruled out of contention by England head coach Brian Ashton.

Richards is set to miss the entire RBS 6 Nations tournament, while Worsley will not be involved against either Wales or Italy, England's opponents in Rome on February 10.

Wasps wing Paul Sackey, meanwhile, will join the squad on Sunday subject to being symptom-free after contracting mumps.
