Mitchell replaces injured Randall in England squad

Northampton scrum-half Alex Mitchell has been called up to England’s Six Nations squad

Northampton scrum-half Alex Mitchell has been called up to England’s Six Nations squad ahead of Saturday’s clash with Wales after Harry Randall was forced to withdraw with an ankle injury.

Uncapped Bristol scrum-half Randall, 23, was part of Eddie Jones’ training group for England’s opening two matches against Scotland and Italy, but failed to make the matchday squad on either occasion with Ben Youngs and Dan Robson preferred.

Mitchell, 23, who has previously been included in England training squads, is also yet to make a senior appearance for England.
