Astazi, selectionerul Angliei a prezentat, intr-o conferinta de presa, lotul largit al Angliei in vederea debutului din 4 februarie al Six Nations. Impotriva Frantei, pe Twickenham.

A revizuit lotul jucatorilor de elita (EPS) si a numit un lot restrans, de 33 de jucatori, care vor trece printr-un stagiu de preselectie de doua zile, ce va avea loc pe 2-3 ianuarie la Brighton.

In lotul de la Brighton au fost convocati pentru prima oara Nathan Catt (Bath), Josh Beaumond (Sale),  Mike Williams (Leicester), Alex Lozowski (Saracens). De asemeni, au fost convocati dupa recuperarea din accidentari James Haskell (Wasps), Maro Itoje (Saracens), Manu Tuilagi (Leicester), Mike Williams (Leicester), Jack Nowell (Exeter), si Anthony Watson (Bath). Se mai reintoarce pentru a fi verificat si Matt Mullan (Wasps) care fusese selectionat in toamna dar nu a putut continua de joace.

Lotul final pentru Turneul Six Nations va fi anuntat  vineri, 20 ianuarie 2017.
