World Cup-winning captain Martin Johnson has revealed the England pack he'd like to see Eddie Jones select for the 2022 Six Nations.

Speaking at an event in Leeds this week, he said: "I think Eddie (Jones) has been pretty spot on during the Autumn.

"I'm still not sure about Tom Curry at number 8 though, I think it unbalances the back-row a little bit in my personal opinion.

"I'm a big fan of Alex Dombrandt at Harlequins."
