Fin Smith likely to miss start of six nations.

Fin Smith: Calf injury puts Six Nations start at risk

Northampton fly-half Fin Smith is suffering with a calf strain that may put him out of England's Six Nations opener against Wales.

Was probably out of favour due to Ford leading sales impressive form and fantastic attack or smith on the bench because Quins are showing how to close games out properly.

Who's gonna clean Ford's boots now? And fetch his coffee for him?

Six Nations is gone now

Tough one Fords the Chuck Norris of rugby.

Wonder if Steve will be tempted to bring a northern coffee fetcher in from the cold. One with a penchant for playing 12.

Just got an alert from the BBC Asher is out of the 6N. I thought it was possible as we've not seen him in a while. RFU need to make a quick call to Tigers and beg them to rest Hayes for the next 2 or 3 games. Sucks for Asher though because this was his break out moment.

Gutted. Would have loved to see him get the experience/development of playing a full series off the bench.

Think Davison will come into the 18 shirt and (perhaps a little controversially) I’d be bringing Sela into the squad over Fasgbon. Feel Sela is a little more rounded at the moment.

It'll be Davison for a quick fix, question is who is the young 3rd option as you say most likely out of Fasgbon or Sela or maybe both. Marcus Street maybe the wild card. I know some will ask about Sinkler because of rumours he is coming back next season sadly before this story broke Toulon confirm he will still be there in 2027.

Given Davison and Fasogbon were on the summer tour, I think they’re the likely options. However, on form Sela has the edge over Fasogbon.

Street is a bit of a wildcard but he does seem rejuvenated after his move to Saracens so he might be in the running.
