Eddie Jones claims even the barista in his local coffee shop is bagging his underdog England side ahead of Saturday’s Six Nations title eliminator with Ireland.
Jones today recalled Sam Simmonds at No.8 in place of Covid victim Alex Dombrandt, who drops to the bench. He has also brought in Joe Marchant to replace Elliot Daly in midfield.
Kyle Sinckler (back) and Tom Curry (concussion) were both passed fit to start. Joe Launchbury makes his long-awaited return from injury on the bench.
