England Coach Borthwick Includes Daly And Cole In Six Nations Squad

Twickenham, United Kingdom, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Jan, 2023 ) :England coach Steve Borthwick has recalled veterans Dan Cole and Elliot Daly in a 36-man squad for the Six Nations announced on Monday.

But there was no place for experienced No 8 Billy Vunipola or wings Jonny May and Jack Nowell ahead of England's Six Nations opener at home to Scotland on February 4.

Both prop Cole and utility back Daly fell out of favour under former coach Eddie Jones but have returned under Borthwick.

The former England captain replaced Jones last month after the Australian was sacked following England's worst year since 2008.

Owen Farrell was included after the Rugby Football Union confirmed his ban for a dangerous tackle playing for Saracens will have been deemed fully served before the Six Nations begins.
