The latest England Six Nations squad update sees 20-year-old Northampton starlet Henry Pollock brought back into camp.

Pollock links back up with the senior side for a three-day training camp while Tom Curry is recovering after Saturday’s victory against .

After playing a starring role in England U20s’ World Cup win last summer, Pollock has broken into the Northampton first team and has gone from strength to strength.

Seen as one of England’s best young talents, he is touted as the next big thing for the Red Rose.

Flanker Tom Curry is following a modified recovery program after having surgery on a career-threatening hip injury last year.

The back-rower is expected to be fit when England face Scotland on 22 February, but is having his workload carefully managed after playing every minute of England’s opening two games.

Teammate George Martin is also being monitored, but should be back in full training next week.

England Six Nations Squad Update In Full

Exeter Chiefs winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is now in line for a possible return before the end of the tournament.

The 22-year-old is back in camp as he continues to recover from a dislocated shoulder, having opted against surgery.

Alex Mitchell and Harry Randall are the only scrum-halves in the squad. Raffi Quirke and Jack van Poortvliet both picked up injuries ahead of the Six Nations, with Van Poortvliet called up to the England ‘A’ squad in order to gain some minutes.

Scotland have their own injury worries ahead of the Calcutta Cup clash. They already lost skipper Sione Tuipulotu before the tournament with a torn pectoral, and then saw fly-half Fin Russell and winger Darcy Graham clash heads and go off in the 32-18 defeat to Ireland.

Both remain serious doubts for the trip to Twickenham to face England.
