England 6 nations squad

[baldpaul101]

Forwards: Ollie Chessum, Dan Cole, Alex Coles, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Chandler Cunningham-South, Ben Curry Theo Dan, Alex Dombrandt, Ben Earl, Ellis Genge, Jamie George (capt), Joe Heyes, Nick Isiekwe, Maro Itoje, Joe Marler, Beno Obano, Tom Pearson, Ethan Roots, Will Stuart, Sam Underhill.

Backs: Oscar Beard, Danny Care, Elliot Daly, Fraser Dingwall, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, George Ford, Tommy Freeman, George Furbank, Ollie Lawrence, Alex Mitchell, Tom Roebuck, Henry Slade, Fin Smith, Marcus Smith, Ben Spencer, Freddie Steward.

Nice to see a few new faces but, no Alfie is a surprise. Think its a bit early for Feyi-Waboso IMO. is Dan Cole really the best option?
Plenty of talking points but the key things for me are:
1. How many of the new faces will actually play?
2. Will the game plan be adjusted so those exciting players can show what they can do rather than just chasing George Ford spiral bombs all game?

How many of the new faces will actually play?

Given the number of injuries, look like quite a few might be starting!
& with no Ford or Farrell (and no Marcus Smith) looks like the game plan might have to change!

I read this morning that Wigglesworth said that Ford was good to go.

I thought he was still out. I have nothing against Ford if he has a decent game plan to follow, but was hoping a absence of Ford & Farrell would force a more exciting game plan, never mind
