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. Backs: Chris Ashton, Brad Barritt, Mike Brown, Luther Burrell, Danny Care, Lee Dickson, Kyle Eastmond, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Alex Goode, Jonny May, Stephen Myler, Jack Nowell, Billy Twelvetrees, Ben Youngs, Anthony Watson, Richard Wigglesworth.

Only this time, they were preparing for a date with the 2013-14 Presidents Trophy winning Boston Bruins, who secured their spot in the second round after defeating the Detroit Red Wings in five games. Meeting for the fourth time in seven seasons and for the 34th occasion all-time, the Canadiens and Bruins get together in an Eastern Conference second round series that begins this week. "Youre going to have to fight for everything. Theres no such thing as an easy game when you play against Boston," Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges said following practice. "Theyre very well structured. They play a great team game. Youre going to have to fight for your real estate, youre going to have to fight to get on the inside and to get second chances in front of the net. "If were going to succeed, were going to have to do everything we can in the dirty areas." Gorges, who will face the Bruins in the postseason for the third time in his NHL career, was unable to take part in the Canadiens most recent playoff meeting with Boston in 2011 after undergoing season-ending knee surgery. "What the Bruins have done in the last few years in the playoffs has been as good as or better than any other team in the league," added Gorges. "We know we have a great challenge ahead of us. Its going be hard. Its going to be a long series. Weve got to be prepared for that." The last time the Bruins and Canadiens met in the playoffs was in 2011, when Boston ousted Montreal in seven games in its march to winning the Stanley Cup championship. No teams have come close to meeting in the playoffs as many times as the Bruins and Canadiens. The 170 games between the Bruins and Canadiens are the most for plaayoff opponents; the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs are next with 117.dddddddddddd "Theyre a good team; they know how to win. Theyve shown that by winning the Cup a few years back and making the Stanley Cup Finals last year," winger Thomas Vanek said of the much-anticipated series. "I know TD Garden is a tough building to play in, but so is the Bell Centre. For us to have success or for anyone to have success, youre going to have to beat some really good teams in order to win that ultimate prize. The Bruins are one of those teams." The Bruins lost three of their four games against the Canadiens this season, including two games played in Boston. The Canadiens have won six of the past seven games and are 351-264-103-7 in the regular season against the Bruins. "The Bruins are the same team they were in the regular season. Thats what makes them so good," defenceman Mike Weaver said. "Theyre going to be an extremely tough team to play against and it will be a great challenge for us. Thats what playoffs are all about. You hear a lot of things about that rivalry, but playoffs take things to another level." Head coach Michel Therrien made a change to his line up at practice on Sunday, opting to put a healthy Travis Moen on the fourth line - a move to bring in more veteran presence against an experienced Bruins team. Here is Sundays Practice Lines: Forward:Pacioretty - Desharnais - VanekPrust - Plekanec - GallagherBourque - Eller - GiontaMoen* - Briere - WeiseBournival - White - Parros Defence:Markov - EmelinGorges - SubbanBouillon - WeaverMurray - Tinordi Goal:PriceBudaj *In first round, Michael Bournival played left wing on the fourth line. Moen skating in that spot represents the one lineup change in preparation for the Bruins. The NHL is expected to release the schedule for the second round on Monday. ' ' '
