Saracens’ poacher supreme, who needs two more tries against Glasgow tomorrow to draw level with Vincent Clerc as the top scorer in European Cup history, has been mooted as a possible wildcard despite being discarded by England.
“It would be nice but I think it’s a very big ask. There are a lot of good wingers playing in the Six Nations,” said Ashton.
“I have big games coming and that’s my opportunity but the squad is announced on April 19 so I haven’t got that many. I think my missus is closer to it than me.”
