Double whammy.
England pair Joe Launchbury and Joe Marler have withdrawn from their squad for the Guinness Six Nations in a massive blow for boss Eddie Jones.
Lock Joe Launchbury is out through injury, with a fibia stress fracture, and prop Joe Marler has withdrawn for personal reasons. Charlie Ewels and Tom West will join the tournament squad, marking West’s first England senior call-up.
Eddie Jones’ side will meet at St. George’s Park on Wednesday [27 January] where they will begin their preparations for the Guinness Six Nations.
England’s opening game is against Scotland at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 6 February
