JONES NAMES SQUAD FOR SIX NATIONS TRAINING CAMP
Eddie Jones has named a 36-player England squad to begin
preparations for the Guinness Six Nations.
England Senior Men
The squad will meet in Brighton on Monday 24 January for a
five-day training camp, then regroup at Pennyhill Park, ahead of
their first game against Scotland at Murrayfield, on Saturday 5
February.
Ben Youngs could become England men’s most-capped player during
the tournament. The scrum-half, who made his debut in 2010, is
two caps behind Jason Leonard (114). In other potential
milestones, Kyle Sinckler is in line to earn cap 50.
There are six new faces in the squad: Orlando Bailey, Alfie
Barbeary, Ollie Chessum, Tommy Freeman, Ollie Hassell-Collins
and Luke Northmore.
"Selecting this squad has been a difficult task, we’ve got
plenty of good young players coming through and some of our more
experienced are rediscovering their best form," said Jones.
"We think this 36 for the first training week reflects a good
balance of that experience and up-and-coming talent. In Brighton
we’ll focus on getting the fundamentals of our game in play
right and developing the cohesion of the team.
"The Six Nations is going to be the most competitive we’ve ever
seen. All the countries performed well in the autumn, so we need
to be at our best and improve with every game."
Owen Farrell will captain England, while team vice captains will
be announced ahead of each match. Following the Scotland game,
England will travel to Rome to play Italy on Sunday 13 February.
Jones’ side will then return to England for home games at
Twickenham Stadium against Wales (Saturday 26 February) and
Ireland (Saturday 12 March), before finishing the campaign in
Paris against France on Saturday 19 March.
All of England’s matches are on ITV, except for Scotland v
England which is on BBC. Radio commentary for all games will be
on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Congratulations to Marchant, Dommers, Smith and Marler. But most
particularly to Northmore! Good for him! He deserves it!
Meanwhile, I am tugging at my collar and gulping about losing
them all over the next two months!!!

Indeed great news for them all and for the club that has allowed
them to perform to their potential. However that’s a lot of gaps
to fill in our team.

Yeah, delighted for Northmore, the others I expected. Feel a bit
for Collier though.
Complete opposite for Youngs & Farrell though, very sad.

Interesting squad, I like Northmore geeting a chance to impress,
Barbery looks like a defo impact player. Someone that can change
a game. Chessum has impressed me this season, when I have seen
him play. He is a unit, 6'8, 19stone and can cover, lock,
blindside and no8.
Happy for Ollie Hasselcolins, he is a class player and might be
given his head in the six nations. With Farrel at 12 and Slade
at 13, we need some strict runners and he is a big winger.
Great to see the Quins boys is there.
I'm pleased we are left with a backline that includes:
9 Care
10 Allen / Edwards
11 Murely
12 Esterhauizen
13 Jones / Aunawu
14 Lyangh
15 Green / David

You are right about Collier. He has been so good all season.

We all now know that Farrell is the golden child. Jones sees him
as a Richie McCaw (type) figurehead. The one that leads from the
front and the one that would be first over the top of the
trenches. He is going to the World Cup Squad even if he had one
leg. There is no way, unless he is out for months that Jones
will not have in the squads and in the team.

I'm pleased h is staying with us. We have lost four very good
players to England. Another bavn there player would be hard to
take.
Lynaghs time will come. He just needs to jeep performing.
Hopefully Green will get a rest and Lynagh gets a run a full
back.
