Centre Manu Tuilagi was included in England’s 36-man training squad yesterday ahead of the Calcutta Cup clash in Scotland on February 24.
Tuilagi, 32, has recovered from a groin injury and will rival Fraser Dingwall for the No.12 shirt – a development Dingwall has welcomed.
“Manu offers something different to the centre than we have and he is very experienced,” he told BBC Sport.
“I have spent time with Manu before and have learned from him. If we can find a way where we can compliment each other in training as well, then that will benefit the squad.”
