LONDON (Reuters) - Co-captain Dylan Hartley and scrumhalf Danny Care have been left out of the England's initial Six Nations championship squad as Eddie Jones started the long run-in to the World Cup by celebrating his shrinking injury list.

Hooker Hartley, who has 97 caps, lost his starting slot to Jamie George during the November internationals when England were hard-hit by injuries and has not played for the last three weeks because of a knee injury.
