England have retained the 23 players on duty at the weekend plus Ollie Devoto for their training camp this week.

A 40-9 defeat of Italy in Rome on Sunday left England top of the Six Nations table after two games under new coach Eddie Jones.

Ireland visit Twickenham on February 27, and England's sole injury concern at this early stage is Alex Goode, who has a minor ankle problem.

Bath back Devoto, who was on the bench for the win over Scotland but remains uncapped, will stay with the squad as cover.

Sale Sharks forward Josh Beaumont, who was part of the training squad for Rome, will return to his club for this weekend's matches.
