Andy Gomarsall, Andy Hazell, Henry Paul, Phil Vickery and James Forrester will all be part of the international side's build-up for the Anglo-Welsh clash.
The players will be invited to England's training base in Surrey next week, to prepare for what is expected to be one of the closest championships in years, with the cream of northern hemisphere rugby in action.
Robinson selected the 30 players only with the Wales game in mind. It's expected several other England regulars currently injured, such as Mike Tindall, Martin Corry, James Simpson-Daniel and Jonny Wilkinson, will be available for selection further into the championship.
Yet in spite of having to take injuries into consideration, Robinson still had sufficient strength in depth at his disposal, he was able to select what he considers to be a strong squad.
"It was no easy matter cutting back England's training squad for the championship to just 30, when every place has been so keenly contested.
"The enthusiasm and commitment shown by the players in our training days with Leeds Rhinos at Headingley and at Loughborough University this month, has been tremendous and there's a real sense of excitement throughout the squad as we get ready to take on Wales."
Leicester Tigers regain their position as the Zurich Premiership club with the most players gaining England selection. Their seven players selected are followed by Sale Sharks and Gloucester with five each. England name their 22 early next week.
