The 2023 Six Nations is just five months away.
With new head coach Steve Borthwick in charge, England will go into the competition as one of the favourites.
England are stacked pretty much all over the park. There’s only a few players in the side that have nailed down a place in the side.
So, with so many players competing for a place in the team, who will Borthwick choose to play for England’s opening game against Scotland at Twickenham on Saturday.
Rugby Inside Line asked their followers to pick the England XV they’d choose to play against Scotland if the competition started tomorrow.
A vote was held and Rugby Inside Line have named the most popular selections. View it below…
