LONDON (Reuters) - Danny Cipriani and Nick Easter were the eye-catching inclusions in Stuart Lancaster's training squad for the opening game of the Six Nations against Wales in Cardiff on Feb. 6, both given the chance to force their way into World Cup reckoning.

Mercurial Sale number 10 Cipriani last featured in a Six Nations match seven years ago and is included as one of four flyhalves, while Harlequins number eight Easter is involved under Lancaster for the first time, having won the last of his 47 caps in the 2011 World Cup quarter-final defeat by France.
