Eddie Jones is set to revert to playing Tom Curry at number 8 for England’s Autumn Nations Series opener against Tonga this weekend.
After releasing Callum Chick and Sam Simmonds from his squad yesterday, it’s now being widely reported that Alex Dombrandt will also miss out on a starting spot, though he may still find himself a spot on the bench.
Marcus Smith, who has had limited training time due to a leg niggle, will be cleared to play in the first Test of the season, according to the Mail Online.
