Former Otley player Luther Burrell has been added to England's training squad for Saturday's RBS Six Nations clash with Ireland at Twickenham
FORMER Otley player Luther Burrell has been added to the England squad as they prepare for Saturday's RBS Six Nations clash with Ireland at Twickenham.
The Northampton Saints centre replaces Ollie Devoto, who was concussed in Bath's defeat by Wasps on Saturday, while also out of the 32-man squad at England's training camp in Surrey is Josh Beaumont.
The Sale No 8 dislocated a shoulder in his side's defeat at Worcester and is unlikely to play any further part in England's championship.
Burrell, who learnt his trade with Yorkshire Carnegie, was controversially left out of the England squad for last year's World Cup in favour of former Bulls player Sam Burgess and has taken time to recover from that blow.
