Wingers Adam Radwan and Louis Lynagh have been called up by Eddie Jones to join the England squad as they prepare for their Guinness Six Nations opener against Scotland.

Newcastle flyer Radwan made his debut last summer, scoring a hat-trick against Canada, and followed that up with another try in a win over Tonga in the Autumn Nations Series.

He will be looking to add to those two caps after coming into the squad, while Lynagh could make his debut during the Championship.

The Harlequins winger, whose father Michael won the World Cup with Australia and was for a time the record points scorer in international rugby, first joined up with the squad last November.

He has not yet featured for England though, and remains eligible to play for Australia and Italy, where he was born.

They come into the squad with Joe Marchant currently in isolation after testing positive for Covid, with Joe Marler having done so earlier in the week.

Tommy Freeman is also unavailable after suffering a hamstring injury, while Nick Isiekwe remains with the squad, having come in last week.
