Saracens winger Chris Ashton is among seven players to have been cut from England's training squad for the Rugby World Cup.

England play their first warm-up game ahead of the tournament on August 15 when they welcome France to Twickenham Stadium.

Bath duo Kyle Eastmond and Semesa Rokoduguni have also been sent back to their clubs, while Lee Dickson, Matt Kvesic, Matt Mullan and Marland Yarde miss out too.

"We had a great two-week camp in Denver where the entire squad worked extremely hard and were exceptional in the way they went about the training," coach Stuart Lancaster told EnglandRugby.com "That has continued this week and competition for places has been very intense.

"It has been difficult to narrow down the squad as everyone has contributed and given their all. But what I have said to those guys who are not coming back in on Sunday is that the door is not closed by any means. They are only an injury away and there is a lot of international rugby to be played this season, culminating in a three-Test tour to Australia."

Those left in the squad will now prepare for the warm-up matches and the Rugby World Cup at the team's Pennyhill Park training base.

England training squad in full: Dave Attwood (Bath Rugby), Brad Barritt (Saracens), Kieran Brookes (Northampton Saints), Mike Brown (Harlequins), Sam Burgess (Bath Rugby), Luther Burrell (Northampton Saints), Danny Care (Harlequins), Danny Cipriani (Sale Sharks), Calum Clark (Northampton Saints), Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers), Alex Corbisiero (Northampton Saints), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs), Nick Easter (Harlequins), Owen Farrell (Saracens), George Ford (Bath Rugby), Jamie George (Saracens), Alex Goode (Saracens), James Haskell (Wasps), Jonathan Joseph (Bath Rugby), George Kruis (Saracens), Joe Launchbury (Wasps), Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints), Joe Marler (Harlequins), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby), Ben Morgan (Gloucester Rugby), Jack Nowell (Exeter Chiefs), Geoff Parling (Exeter Chiefs), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs), Billy Twelvetrees (Gloucester Rugby), Mako Vunipola (Saracens), Billy Vunipola (Saracens), Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby), Rob Webber (Bath Rugby), Richard Wigglesworth (Saracens), David Wilson (Bath Rugby), Tom Wood (Northampton Saints), Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers), Tom Youngs (Leicester Tigers)
