Eddie Jones will hold a crucial training session on Thursday morning before finalising his England team to face Ireland with Kyle Sinckler understood to be among the players hampered by injury or illness this week.
Sinckler is believed to be managing a back problem and did not take part in Tuesday’s training session, instead limited to exercises away from the pitch. Wednesday was due to be the players’ recovery day but Sinckler was put through his paces alone in a bid to ready himself.
