“On fire” – Joe Launchbury and Henry Slade among five England stars recalled for the 2024 Six Nations

The Six Nations Championship is an exhilarating annual event that brings together some of the best rugby talent from across Europe.

As England prepares for the upcoming Six Nations, head coach Steve Borthwick has crucial decisions to make regarding player selections.

In this article, we focus on five players who have demonstrated outstanding performances and merit consideration for a recall to the national team.


5 players set to be recalled

#1. Joe Launchbury (Harlequins)

One player who has consistently proven himself on the field is Joe Launchbury of Harlequins.

The 32-year-old lock is renowned for his exceptional work rate, leadership qualities, and proficiency in both set-piece and open play. Launchbury’s physicality and ability to disrupt opposition ball make him a valuable asset in the forward pack.

Despite some injury setbacks, Launchbury’s experience and skill set make him a compelling choice for a recall, providing stability and expertise to England’s second-row options.
