Elliot Daly hopeful of proving fitness

Elliot Daly faces a key training session as he continues to prove his fitness to head coach Eddie Jones for England’s Six Nations clash with France, the Daily Mail report.

The British and Irish Lions wing has missed the opening three rounds of England’s title defence with ankle and calf injuries, but is believed to be in contention for the trip to Paris next week.

Daly, 25, has managed only 10 games for club side Wasps this season, scoring four tries, and last played for England back in November.

England are set for a practise run-out this weekend at Twickenham, and should he emerge unscathed, could well make the squad for the vital match against France.

Talking to the media, head coach Jones said:

Hopefully he’ll be able to train with us and if he trains with us, then he could well be in consideration for France.

England will be looking to get back to winning ways after a disappointing defeat to Scotland last week, as they continue their quest for a third Six Nations title in a row.
