Ashton dropped from Eng squad

London - Saracens wing Chris Ashton has been dropped from Stuart Lancaster's England squad for the autumn rugby internationals, according to British media who appear to have been leaked the line-up ahead of Wednesday's announcement.

Manu Tuilagi, Danny Cipriani and Freddie Burns will also miss out, according to the reports naming what they say is the 33-man squad for matches against New Zealand, South Africa, Samoa and Australia.

Ashton is said to have been replaced in the squad by Bath winger Semesa Rokoduguni.
