Actually it's seven Gloucester players plus Freddie Burns who has played his last for the club before joining Tigers ..

Still that's not a bad return for a side who struggled all season in the bottom half.

The squad announced today is the Training Squad as Stuart Lancaster looks to see who he want to take to New Zealand this summer.

He says:" The New Zealand tour and the game against the Barbarians give us a chance to look at a wide group of players, some of whom are well known to us from the Elite Player Squad, others who we will get to work with for the first time next week.

"That is an exciting challenge for us coaches and it's a great opportunity for those players to put a marker down for selection for the tour and the Barbarians game."

England training squad:
Kieran Brookes (Newcastle Falcons), Freddie Burns (Gloucester Rugby), Danny Cipriani (Sale Sharks), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs), Dave Ewers (Exeter Chiefs), Sam Hill (Exeter Chiefs), Tom Johnson (Exeter Chiefs), Matt Kvesic (Gloucester Rugby), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby), Ben Morgan (Gloucester Rugby), Michael Paterson (Sale Sharks), Chris Pennell (Worcester Warriors), Dan Robson (Gloucester Rugby), Charlie Sharples (Gloucester Rugby), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs), Tommy Taylor (Sale Sharks), Henry Thomas (Sale Sharks), Henry Trinder (Gloucester Rugby), Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester Rugby), Marland Yarde (London Irish)

(8) Glaws Players in England Squad

Nice to see our lads being recognized despite our annus horibilis. What could we have done with a hard nosed coach?

Burns played better in the first test than Farrell did in the second.

At least that is the NZ opinion around where I live.

I quite agree. He is now a Leicester Tigers player, of course, and it has to be said he did not have a good season when he played for us last season.
If the move has done the lad a lot of good then I am pleased for him and we must ask ourselves why we couldn't get the best out of him. Its not as though he had a lot of other fly halves clamoring for the position at Gloucester.
