Who do we think is going to get the nod? Kyle seems a dead cert, but for once the list beyond that seems more uncertain than it has been for a long time. Not sure any of Care, Robshaw (if he's fit), Earle or Brown are seen as World Cup prospects by Jones. Dombrandt is being talked up, what about Marchant too?

I think Brown will Care, Robshaw and Sinks but not Dombrandt

Maybe uncle Eddie will overlook us from his Twickenham eyrie and leave our quality team intact?!

Brown has been incredible. He should have been with England throughout November. Care is having an inspired and inspiring season. Dombrandt might get a call up; he deserves it. For those guys, I hope they all get in. For me, I hope they are forgotten about! Sinckler will definitely go, especially given his headline-grabbing performances in the autumn.

It's a shame because I think we can push on from our brilliant league position with wins against Bristol, Worcester, Bath (away) and Glaws. But without these four we are weaker.

I can only see Brown, Robshaw, Care and Sinck being involved in matchday squads.  Earle could get named, as could Dombrandt and Marchant, but I doubt they will get game time, unless they get a run against Italy. 

Brown has been incredible

Really? I think he's been good without being outstanding at all. Unless I've missed any stand out games he's had this season.

Would be a touch for us if true!!

No issue with robshaw omission. Leaving care out is good for us but bad for England and feel for him

Danny Care expecting battle for England Six Nations spot

Danny Care is hoping to ward off the competition at scrum-half for a place in Eddie Jones' Six Nations England squad.

Danny Care is relishing the prospect of a battle for England’s half-back jerseys ahead of Eddie Jones’ Six Nations squad announcement on Thursday.

The Harlequins scrum-half has scored 14 tries for England in 84 caps over a ten-year international career and knows that he faces tough competition for a place in the squad.

Leicester's Ben Youngs and Wasps' Dan Robson are among those fighting for the No 9 jersey with Care.

"There are four, five or six player who want to put their hand up for selection and be a part of that Six Nations squad and ultimately that World Cup squad," Care said.

"Whoever gets the opportunity to play in that first game has to play well because, as always, there are players nipping at your heels."

At fly-half, competition is also fierce, but Care believes Danny Cipriani's form for Gloucester should put him in the fold.

"Danny has been brilliant all year for Gloucester, great last year, and will be hopeful of featuring this year heavily," Care added.

"I've known him for a long time, he's an unbelievably talented player and in that position with George Ford, Owen Farrell, Marcus Smith, it's going to be a great battle for that No 10 jersey."

Care reserved special praise for his Harlequins team-mate Alex Dombrandt, who arrived at Twickenham Stoop in the summer of 2018.

The No 8 won the man-of-the-match award for his dominant performance in Quins' 28-26 win over Exeter Chiefs in December.

"Look, I'm not a selector, but all I can say about Alex, this guy we signed from Cardiff uni, is that from day one in pre-season I was banging on the coach's door saying he's got to play," he said.

"He's got it, he understands the game, he's physical, he reads the game so well, he's the closest thing I've seen to Nick Easter in a long time.

"He's just a naturally gifted rugby player and if he keeps going the way he is, he's got a very bright future."

England begin their Six Nations campaign with a trip to Dublin to take on defending champions and Grand Slam winners Ireland.

England's poor campaign last year ended with defeat to Ireland at Twickenham, but Care said England's players weren't out for revenge, admitting that Ireland had fully deserved their win.

"They were the best team last year, hands down," Care added. "They deserved the trophy.

"They're up there with the best team in the world at the moment and we know we're going to have to play incredibly well to match them and to beat them, but hopefully Eddie picks a hell of a squad - there are some great players he can pick from - and it will be a big game."
