Eddie Jones has rung the changes with his squad for the Six Nations, which was announced today. The England rugby coach has chosen seven uncapped players and jettisoned nine of Stuart Lancaster's ill-fated World Cup squad.

Among those omitted from the 33 named are Tom Youngs, Brad Barritt, Tom Wood and Geoff Parling. Nor is there any room for mercurial fly half Danny Cipriani.
