Farrell and Tuilagi latest — England Six Nations injury news
England will kick off their 2022 Six Nations with a tough trip to Scotland - but who will be available to head coach Eddie Jones?

'That is obviously a big game for him, but we're hoping to get him back a week or two before that.'

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
