England retain 26 players ahead of Grand Slam clash with France

Captain Dylan Hartley did not take part in Tuesday's training at Pennyhill Park

Coach Eddie Jones has retained 26 players in camp ahead of England's bid to complete a Six Nations Grand Slam by beating France in Paris on Saturday.

Prop Matt Mullan is named as cover for Joe Marler, who faces a disciplinary hearing on Wednesday for striking.

Sale's uncapped hooker Tommy Taylor is included, while captain Dylan Hartley sat out Tuesday's training, for what is thought to be precautionary reasons.

England, who beat Wales on Saturday, have won the Six Nations.

Jones' side secured the title after Scotland beat France last Sunday, and win in Paris will complete England's first clean sweep since 2003.
