Ollie Chessum to start ahead of George Martin in the secondrow
Tue Feb 18 2025 - 16:05on Saturday at Twickenham after Steve Borthwick opted to give him the nod in the secondrow ahead of George Martin, who moves to the bench.
Chessum has struggled with injuries over the past year, a shoulder surgery ruling him out of England’s tour of New Zealand and Japan last summer before a knee injury sidelined him for the autumn internationals. An ankle injury kept him out of this season’s Six Nations opener against Ireland, but he recovered to make the bench against France, making a notable impact when he came on.
