(Reuters) - George Ford and Elliot Daly have been called up to the England squad as a replacement for the injured pair of Owen Farrell and Jonny May, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) said on Monday.

In-form Leicester Tigers flyhalf Ford, 28, has started all 12 of Tigers' Premiership games and is the league's top points scorer so far, but was omitted from Eddie Jones' 36-man squad after falling behind Marcus Smith and Farrell in the pecking order.
