Read our privacy policy England have suffered significant injury news ahead of the Six Nations with Jamie George ruled out of their opening fixtures against Ireland and France. Fellow nine Jack van Poortvliet has also suffered an injury, along with forwards Alex Coles and Alex Dombrandt, and the trio are expected to join George in missing the first two games at least. A quintet of replacements have been called up to the 36-man squad named last week including Ben Spencer, who started twice at scrum half in Mitchell’s stead during the Autumn Nations Series. Also previously capped are Sale’s Raffi Quirke and Northampton hooker Curtis Langdon, while Gloucester lock Arthur Clark and rising Northampton star Henry Pollock earn their first senior England call-ups.
