Huge blow for England as 2 forwards are withdrawn from 6 Nations squad

Posted by

England have been dealt even more blows ahead of their 6 Nation’s opener against Scotland in Twickenham on February 6th.

Coach Eddie Jones has missed a section of England’s training as the England boss has been self isolating.

Forward’s coach Matt Proudfoot tested positive for COVID-19 meaning that both Jones and attack coach Simon Amor have to self isolate.

Both forwards will be wiuthdrawn with Launchbury suffering a leg fracture and missing through injury while Joe Marler has decided not to travel to the team for personal reasons.

The English prop has decided not to join the teams bubble for the entire campaign as it would take him away from his family in a very tough time which is completely understandable.

Jones has responded to the withdrawals by calling Bath player Charlie Ewels and uncapped prop Tom West who plays for Wasps.

Will England win the 6 Nations this year or has their squad been thrown into disarray.
