Steve Borthwick has named three uncapped players in his 36-man England squad for the 2026 Six Nations. Exeter No 8 Greg Fisilau earns his first call-up, while Bath's Vilikesa Sela and Northampton's Emmanuel Iyogun are also included. The squad begins its campaign against Wales at Allianz Stadium on February 7.

Injuries have shaped the selection, with tighthead props Will Stuart and Asher Opoku-Fordjour ruled out. Sela's inclusion is a direct response to that shortage, while Iyogun gets his chance with Fin Baxter sidelined. Trevor Davison returns for his first Test cap in four years, adding experience to the pack.

England will be aiming for their first Six Nations title since 2020, with defending champions France entering as favourites. The squad features a mix of seasoned leaders like captain Maro Itoje and emerging talent. The campaign begins in just over two weeks, with Borthwick's side needing to find immediate cohesion.
