LONDON -- England coach Stuart Lancaster pleaded with Toby Flood to stay home for club and country, but couldnt change the flyhalfs mind. Flood, with 60 caps since 2006 including two Rugby World Cups, was axed on Thursday when Lancaster named his squad for the Six Nations starting on Feb. 1. Flood has decided to leave English champion Leicester, which he captains, for Toulouse after the season. "I have met Toby several times and told him I really wanted him to stay at Leicester and play for England," Lancaster said. "He has made a lifestyle choice and we respect that, but given the RFUs policy of not selecting players based overseas save for exceptional circumstances it was important that we allow others such as George Ford to progress." The uncapped Ford, from Bath, was called up in Floods place, third in the flyhalves pecking order behind Owen Farrell and Freddie Burns. Ford, who has graduated through national age-group sides, was the youngest player to make his pro debut in the Premiership at 16 in 2009, and was the world young player of the year in 2011. To cover for injuries to senior players Alex Corbisiero, David Wilson, Geoff Parling, Tom Croft, and backs Manu Tuilagi, Marland Yarde, Christian Wade and Ben Foden, eight Saxons were summoned: Wasps prop Matt Mullan, Sale tighthead Henry Thomas, Leicester lock Ed Slater, Exeter flanker Tom Johnson and winger Jack Nowell, Northampton centre Luther Burrell, Gloucester winger Jonny May and Bath winger Anthony Watson. Lancaster still hoped most of the injured will be available for the summer tour of New Zealand. ------ England: Forwards: David Attwood, Dan Cole, Dylan Hartley, Matt Kvesic, Tom Johnson, Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes, Joe Marler, Ben Morgan, Matt Mullan, Chris Robshaw (captain), Ed Slater, Henry Thomas, Billy Vunipola, Mako Vunipola, Rob Webber, Tom Wood, Tom Youngs.

JOHNS, N.ALLEN PARK, Mich. - After days of cabin fever, the Buffalo Bills were finally able to practice.Then they changed clothes at portable lockers in a hallway — a makeshift setup that underscored just how different this road trip is going to be.The Bills arrived in the Detroit area Friday and held practice that night at the Lions headquarters in Allen Park. The teams schedule has been in flux because of a lake-effect storm that dumped more than 5 feet of snow on the Buffalo region since Monday. This weekends game against the New York Jets was moved from Buffalo to Detroit and will be played Monday night.It felt really good. Being laid up in the house for a while is not fun, tight end Scott Chandler said. It was good to get to just focus on football for a few hours, and not have to worry about anything else.Chandler needed a snowmobile ride to leave his neighbourhood, and he said some of his teammates did too.A local guy, lives around the corner from a lot of us, and they were able to flag him down at a gas station, and he was willing to come help us out. They were trying to plow the road, but it wasnt going to get done fast enough, Chandler said. He was able to come get us and just take us around the corner to where we could get in a car and get to the stadium.Coach Doug Marrone and his staff had been living at the Bills headquarters, going over the game plan and consulting with the team by phone and computer because players were snowed in. Now the Lions are letting the Bills in their practice facility, where Detroit had a workout earlier Friday.Theyve been outstanding, Marrone said. Opening everything up, thats really not heard of in this league, unless they force you to do it. Detroit wasnt forced to do that, so I have a great appreciation for the organization here. We have everything. We have the locker room right behind us, we have the meeting rooms and things of that nature.The venue is a familiar one for Buffalo defensive co-ordinator Jim Schwartz, who was fired in December after five seasons as Detroits coach. Schwartz was carried off the fieldd by the Bills after they beat the Lions in Detroit in October.ddddddddddddHell coach at Ford Field again Monday.Schwartz was not available to reporters Friday.Fans are being offered free tickets to Mondays game, and Bills running back Fred Jackson said hes not sure what kind of environment to expect.Im kind of excited to see what happens, he said. Itll be a different experience for everybody.This is the second time in four years Ford Field has hosted a neutral site game. In 2010, a game between the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants was moved to Detroit because the Metrodome roof collapsed.Fans who showed up for that game witnessed a bit of history. Brett Favres streak of 297 regular-season starts came to an end that night.The Bills are hoping conditions will be less harsh back home next week, but next weekends home game against Cleveland also could be affected by the weather.Bills President Russ Brandon says the team is planning to return to Buffalo after Monday nights game in Detroit.Our plan is to get right back to Buffalo after the game, Brandon said. Well have a short work week as we prepare for Cleveland, but well stay nimble and see how the situation evolves and well go from there.Lions President Tom Lewand was asked Friday if Ford Field could be available for the Bills again next weekend. Detroit hosts Chicago on Thanksgiving, and there are high school championship games scheduled for the venue Friday and Saturday.I dont want to get into projections. Lets deal with whats in front of us right now, Lewand said. I know the folks at the Bills organization are working awfully hard to get themselves prepared not only to play the Jets on Monday night, but the Browns next week. It wouldnt be fair on me to comment beyond trying to get them as successful as possible for a great game on Monday night.___AP Sports Writers John Wawrow in Buffalo, New York, Dennis Waszak Jr., in Florham Park, New Jersey, and AP freelance reporter Mark Ludwiczak contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
