England Squad Updates and Expert Analysis Ahead of Fiji Test
England wing Tom Roebuck is a doubt for Saturday's match against Fiji after sustaining an ankle injury during training on Tuesday, forcing him to limp out of the session. This comes despite England head coach Steve Borthwick previously expressing satisfaction with Roebuck's performance, noting that the winger had achieved a new personal best.
Former England head coach Sir Clive Woodward has offered his insights on team selection, advocating for Steve Borthwick to maintain his long-term strategy of winning the 2027 World Cup without sacrificing immediate success. Woodward suggests avoiding wholesale changes for the Fiji game, giving one player another opportunity, and introducing a 'dark horse' into the squad.
Meanwhile, former Wales captain Dan Biggar has voiced concerns regarding England's performance, highlighting their inability to convert pressure into points, particularly in matches against top-tier nations like France or South Africa.
