England duo available for Saints' clash with Wasps

The talented duo have been released by England and can play a part in the league game at cinch Stadium at Franklin's Gardens.

But Courtney Lawes remains with the Red Rose and is likely to skipper them against Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.

Mitchell had been added to the England squad on Sunday evening, but his stay in camp was to be short-lived as England are set to call upon Ben Youngs and Harry Randall this weekend.

Furbank returns to Saints having missed their 35-30 defeat at Gloucester last Saturday due to England training.

But Wasps have not been as fortunate ahead of the trip to Northampton as key forwards Joe Launchbury and Alfie Barbeary have been retained by the Red Rose this week.
