Eliot Daly named at fullback while Fraser Dingwall replaces Henry Slade at centre
Marcus Smith has been benched for England’s Six Nations match against Italy, with Elliot Daly replacing him at fullback. Steve Borthwick, England’s head coach, has overhauled the backline to revitalise the team’s attacking play. Smith’s omission follows mixed performances, while Borthwick has favoured Fin Smith’s game management. Other changes include Fergus Dingwall starting at centre and Jack George replacing Luke Cowan-Dickie in the front row.
