Nowell a doubt for England’s next match

England winger Jack Nowell is doubtful for Saturday’s match against France, after missing training on Tuesday morning.

A critical component of the team, the Exeter back has appeared off the bench in every match to this point for England, scoring a try against Italy in the first game of the tournament.

With 21 appearances in the Six Nations competition, the 24-year-old can already boast eight tries to his name.

With Nowell potentially sidelined, England coach Eddie Jones may be forced to give Wasps wing Elliot Daly his return to international rugby, after a series of injuries have kept him sidelined to this point.

England will be undertaking their Parisian adventure in hopes of keeping their Six nations dreams afloat, which are currently floundering in the water following a 25-13 defeat at the hands of Scotland.

As Scotland play Ireland – the only undefeated team remaining in the competition – they have the chance to blow the Six Nations wide open with a victory.
