George Furbank has been named in England’s squad for the upcoming Guinness Six Nations with Greg Fisilau also included as one of three uncapped players.

Furbank is present in a 36-man group despite having been limited to just four senior appearances for Northampton this season because of calf issues, with a start against Sale on December 20 his most recent outing.

The 29-year-old was England’s first choice full-back until suffering a broken arm in December 2024, with the last of his 14 caps being won against Japan a month earlier.

Fisilau is rewarded for his blockbuster form for Exeter by being given the chance to compete with Ben Earl for the number eight duties, while uncapped props Billy Sela and Emmanuel Iyogun also feature.
