Eddie Jones Finally Calls Up The Man The Whole Of England Has Been Begging For

Finally.

England head coach Eddie Jones has named a 32-man squad to begin preparations for their final Six Nations match against Ireland at Twickenham stadium on Saturday.

Ireland have already been crowned champions after they defeated Scotland, while England failed to beat France. But Jones’ men will be hoping to return the favour from last year, and spoil Ireland’s Grand Slam aspirations.

Courtney Lawes (Northampton Saints) and Nathan Hughes (Wasps) will both have scans on Monday after sustaining knee injuries against France on Saturday.

Interestingly, Jones has called up Exeter Chiefs flanker Don Armand. The flanker has arguably been one of the best forwards in the English Premiership in recent years, and should he make the matchday squad on Saturday, could cause Ireland serious problems.
