Jack Kenningham has been called into England’s training squad ahead of the 2026 Guinness Men’s Six Nations Championship, with Ben Curry and Fin Baxter both set to miss the upcoming warm-weather camp in Girona.
Watch the Guinness Six Nations at your local Greene King sports pub.
The Harlequins back rower is the only new addition to Steve Borthwick’s group as preparations continue for England’s opening fixture against Wales next month.
Kenningham has impressed in the Premiership this season with his work-rate and physicality, earning another opportunity to stake a claim at international level.
Sale Sharks flanker Curry will remain with his club as he continues his rehabilitation from injury, while fellow Harlequin Baxter is scheduled to undergo foot surgery this week and will not travel with the squad to Spain.
England head into the Six Nations looking to build momentum after a mixed 2025 campaign, with Borthwick expected to use the Girona camp to sharpen combinations and assess depth ahead of the championship opener.
England’s Six Nations campaign gets under way on Saturday 7 February against Wales at Allianz Stadium, with kick-off at 4.40pm GMT. The match will be shown live on ITV1.
