Harlequins' England quartet has been confirmed in the 26-man squad for the RBS 6 Nations opener against France in Paris on Saturday.

Captain Chris Robshaw, prop Joe Marler, full-back Mike Brown and scrum-half Danny Care all made the cut from the provisional squad of 35 originally selected and will travel for the game at the Stade De France later this week.

The squad will be cut to 23 on Thursday with the remaining three players travelling as injury cover.
