England’s Six Nations squad to face Wales leans into youth and pace, with Henry Arundell moved to centre and Jamie George captaining as Steve Borthwick makes bold calls. Winners highlighted by the article include Arundell, Freddie Steward, Fraser Dingwall, Guy Pepper, Jamie George and Trevor Davison, along with praise for Borthwick’s 6-2 bench. The losers list is led by injuries and omissions such as Ollie Lawrence and Tom Roebuck, plus a host of contenders—Max Ojomoh, Seb Atkinson, Henry Slade and Jack van Poortvliet among others—being sidelined or left out in the final 23, with Bevan Rodd, Bevan Iyogun (who earned selection) and Chandler Cunningham-South also impacted by the selections. The piece notes competition at fly-half and back-row remains fierce and questions over selections like Daly/Furbank also factor into the analysis.
