Sparky

Olly Morgan, Fraser Waters, Magnus Lund, Shane Geraghty, Louis Deacon and Andy Hazell have all been released from England's preliminary World Cup squad.
Coach Brian Ashton has to name his definitive 30-man squad by 14 August, and the release of these six cuts the pool down to 40 players.

"It's been very difficult to let the six players go," said Ashton.

"They've all worked hard and it's been good working with them. I'm considering another cut at the end of next week."

Gloucester full-back Morgan impressed in his two appearances in last season's Six Nations, before a season-ending shoulder injury.
