Fresh faces galore
Eddie Jones has named eight fresh faces in his full England Six Nations squad, plus two apprentice players.
The form of young stars Jacob Umaga and Ollie Thorley has been recognised by the gaffer and the two apprentice players will only train.
Jones said: “The Guinness Six Nations for us is all about raising the standards in terms of the way we prepare, tactically and physically how we play the game, and the way we come together off the field.
“But our first task is beating France in France and that is the only game we need to worry about. We will begin our preparations in Portugal, get a bit of sun, some warm conditions and get ourselves physically and mentally right for the game.”
England will assemble at Pennyhill Park on Wednesday and travel to Portugal on Thursday ahead of their first match against France in Paris on Sunday 2nd February.
Major snubs
Now, the likes of Henry Slade, Jack Nowell and Billy Vunipola are out with injury, but Jones have left some pretty big and in form players out.
