The biggest injury miss will undoubtedly be Tom Curry, who misses the entire Six NAtions after having hip surgery following the World Cup.
Jack van Poortvliet is another who is a doubt. The scrum-half is yet to return for Leicester after suffering an ankle injury that kept him out of England’s run to the semi-finals in France.
There are also front row concerns for Borthwick to mull, with both Joe Marler and Bevan Rodd both doubts for the start of the tournament.
Who are the favourites to win the 2024 Six Nations?
