Who will get a Six Nations call up?


As we head into the November, the England team enter the and only four matches separate them from Christmas and then the Six Nations in February. Along the way, England have dates with , Fiji, and Australia. 888sport currently list England as the favourites to win the Six Nations, but a lot of that depends on England coach making a number of smart decisions. Having announced his team for the Internationals, Jones appears to be looking to the future as he names six previously uncapped players in his squad. Here we take a look at some of the new blood, and who could impress Jones enough to be named in the Six Nations squad too.
Charlie Ewels
In a rise to the big time similar to Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, young Lock Charlie Ewels has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top of rugby union. Having complete two full seasons at , he has already been called up by Eddie Jones to the England team, and at the age of 21, he could make his name among the youngest England debutants. Ewels previously captained Bournemouth school to a number of successes, which means many long term rugby fans aren’t surprised by his success, and what’s even more impressive is how unfazed he seems to be on the biggest stage.
Alex Lozowski
His father, Rob Lozowski, may have been a famous player for the London , but Alex doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who will be happy just riding his father’s coattails. It was clear from an early age that rugby was in Alex’s blood and at one point he was simultaneously a part of the Wasps and Chelsea academies. At 23 years old, he has already played for three different rugby teams, including his father’s beloved Wasps, and more recently the Saracens. After knocking on the door for a number of years, it’s about time that Eddie Jones answered.
Ben Te’o
At 29 years of age, Ben Te’o is the oldest debutant called up for the England team. Since his debut in 2007, Te’o has played most of his career in Australia and before moving to Leinster in 2014, and subsequently Worcester Warriors earlier in 2016. There is reason to believe that the clock is ticking on Ben Te’o’s career, which is even more reason to believe that Te’o will be keen to make up for lost time.
Kyle (above)
At 23 years old, Sinckler has already been at the Harlequins since 2011, including loan spells at and Ealing, but you get the impression that the best is yet to come. Sinckler has already represented his country at under-20’s level 13 times and has scored 10 points. It really would be the icing on Sinckler’s cake if he can build upon his success as senior level.
