George Ford is likely to start as fly-half for England in their Six Nations opener against Italy with Fin Smith possibly on the bench. Uncapped winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso may also feature among the replacements. Fraser Dingwall is poised for his debut at inside-centre alongside Auckland-born Ethan Roots at blindside flanker.
Ford’s experience seems to have given him the edge over Fin Smith who is in good form but faces uncertainties due to a leg injury to his Northampton teammate Alex Mitchell. Feyi-Waboso potential debut reflects a rapid rise with Dingwall and Freeman rewarded for Northampton’s strong season. Roots recently joining Exeter is set to start in the back row alongside Sam Underhill and Ben Earl.
