Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is on the brink of his first England start against Ireland this Saturday, marking a remarkable ascent from his days with Taunton Titans just under a year ago.
Sources reveal that England coach Steve Borthwick is gearing up to include the recovered scrumhalf Alex Mitchell and George Martin in the lineup for the tough Six Nations showdown.
Additionally, Marcus Smith is slated for a return to the matchday 23 as a substitute, while George Ford retains his spot at fly-half.
At 21, Feyi-Waboso has made a splash in his two appearances off the bench and is now in contention to start on the left wing.
Unless there's a last-minute change, Elliot Daly looks set to make way for Feyi-Waboso, who was the focus of a fierce England-Wales recruitment battle before the Six Nations.
The Exeter winger missed out on last week's York training camp due to a medical exam but earned plaudits for his try-scoring performance against Scotland, singled out by coach Gregor Townsend.
Feyi-Waboso joined Exeter following Wasps' administration turmoil, and his regular play for the Chiefs this season follows a stint on loan at Taunton.
