Lesley Vainikolo the former New Zealand Rugby League plater has been named in Englands 32-man Six Nations squad. The 28-year-old, who played league for New Zealand but qualifies for England on residency grounds, has scored nine tries in nine games in union to date.
Phil Vickery is retained as captain despite doubts over his starting place.
Sale scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth joins Vainikolo, Cipriani and Croft as the uncapped members of the squad.
Vainikolos selection continues his explosive impact on the 15-man game following his cross-code switch from the Bradford Bulls to Gloucester in the summer.
He had proven himself as a prolific finisher with 149 tries in 152 appearances for the Bulls and produced a stunning five-try display when making his debut for Gloucester against Leeds in September.
