England Six Nations Squad 2025

So the team for Ire. I'll guess at:

1. Genge mainly through lack of competition

2. LCD - going well

3. Stuart - improving

4. Itoje - established, but will captaincy inspire or drag on performance?

5. Martin. Don't think we've seen the best of him for a while.

6, 7, 8. Genuinely no idea. Will guess at CCS, T Curry and Earl. Could just as easily be Chessum, B Curry and Willis.

9. Mitchell if fit

10. M Smith. Pls not at 15

11. Freeman

Centres I guess he'll start Lawrence and Slade but they've never hugely gelled so suspect others will be tried during the course of the Championship.

14. Murley - in form and Sleightholme has injury question marks.

15. Steward. Ire won't be daft enough to play to his strengths and will look to exploit his weaknesses. Realistically though, who else?

Baxter, Dan, Heyes, Chessum, Willis, JvP, F Smith, Roebuck.


JvP has pulled out injured and won't be available for the Ireland match.

Not sure he will leave out so many CC players. Already Ford will likely be left out. Will he want to leave out anymore? And also have multiple ones as bench options behind non CC players.
 
What a load of old Pollocks.

"….England A game capped me, so unfortunately for the next 3 years I will be trying to push for that England squad".

Just further evidence that players are generally best kept away from the press 😀
Thats a very poor choice of words. I myself have divided loyalties between England and Scotland but once you have decided which one you are going to play for you need to show in words and actions that you are committed to them. Borthwick would be justified in not selecting him or at least having a serious conversation with him about it.

The clue's in the name!
