Luke Cowan-Dickie missed England's first Six Nations win of the year in Scotland after his girlfriend gave birth to a son, Arlo, seven weeks early.
Cowan-Dickie Jr is still in hospital in Devon recovering from the drama of his premature arrival.
"I know he is in safe hands and it is the best place for him.
"Me and the Mrs have spoken and we are doing what we think is best at this time and if we are both happy with the decision then things will be all well and good.
"It is on my mind. I speak to her quite a bit about he is getting on and about how she is getting on.
"As soon as I am on the field training I put it to the back of my mind. We have so much time off the field that I can switch off then and catch up with her."

- 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
