UNCAPPED Bath prop Nathan Catt has been named in England's squad for the upcoming RBS 6 Nations Championship.
Catt joins fellow uncapped players, Leicester's Mike Williams and Saracens' Alex Lozowski in the 34-man party, as well as Ellis Genge, the Leicester prop being recalled after a spell in the wilderness.
Bath second row Charlie Ewels has also been named in the squad, along with backs George Ford, Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson, but there is no place for flying wing Semesa Rokoduguni or lock Dave Attwood.
Former Melksham RFC youth player Mike Brown is also named.
England coach Eddie Jones admitted England must "monitor closely" George Kruis, James Haskell and Joe Marler as all three return from injury, with Marler rated "51-49" in his battle to recover from a broken leg.
Jones rates captain Dylan Hartley "seven out of 10" in fitness terms for the Championship, following the Northampton hooker's latest suspension.
