England have confirmed their updated squad for the 2026 Guinness Men’s Six Nations Championship, with a couple of new additions and several notable absences — both from last month’s provisional group and due to injury issues.
The core of the squad remains familiar, with experienced campaigners such as Maro Itoje, Jamie George and George Ford retained. However, the latest selection contains a few changes that have raised eyebrows among fans and pundits.
