England boss Clive Woodward has added two props to his senior training squad following Phil Vickery's withdrawal from the Lloyds TSB Six Nations Championship opener against Scotland next month. The Lions prop was forced out of the February 2 clash after breaking a bone in his hand. Julian White is likely to step in for the injured Vickery although Woodward could opt for a change of roles for 93 times-capped loosehead Jason Leonard.
Uncapped Leicester tighthead Ricky Nebbett and Saracens front-row man David Flatman have now been called up for next Monday's training session in Surrey, joining White, Leonard and Graham Rowntree. Both players are promoted from the current England A training group. Additions to the England A squad will be announced tomorrow.
