Ashton was banned for 10 weeks for eye-gouging an opponent, ruling him out of the tournament after being recalled following an 18-month absence.

Rokoduguni, 28, won his only England cap against New Zealand in 2014.

England begin their Six Nations campaign in Scotland on Feb. 6 and Ashton has three days to decide whether to appeal against his suspension.
