England’s most-capped men’s player made a disappointing contribution off the bench in the 29-23 defeat by Scotland.
BEN YOUNGS FACES an uncertain Test future after he was dropped for England’s Guinness Six Nations clash with Italy on Sunday.
Alex Mitchell has been included in a reduced 29-man squad that will step up preparations for resurgent Italy’s visit to Twickenham in round two, providing support to first choice scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet. Watson’s departure from England camp paves the way for Henry Arundell to make his comeback after missing the autumn because of an ankle injury, either off the bench or as part of a reshaped back three.
“Henry is super talented and very, very gifted as a rugby player. Jack has really impressed me. He’s really determined in how he goes about his business. He’s very professional.
