England 2023 Six Nations squad

England rugby manager Steve Borthwick has selected his first full England Six Nations squad. Some of the picks were as expected, but we’ve also seen a few surprising picks. One of the players that really worked himself into the team with some amazing rugby is Elliot Daly. He has been out of the squad for a year, but has been playing the best rugby of his life. Thanks to that he’s earned a place in the team. England Six Nations tickets are available via our online booking system.

Captain Owen Farrell

Saracens player Owen Farrell is selected as the captain for the tournament. Farrell, who prefers to play as a fly-half is with his 31 year one of the older and most experienced players in the team. He will end the Six Nations tournament with a very special match. The final match this season is against Ireland, where his father Andy Farrell is the head coach. Uncapped quartet Ollie Hassell-Collins, Cadan Murley, Jack Walker and George McGuigan are added to the team and will learn a lot from Farrell.
