Feyi-Waboso a big doubt for rest of Six Nations campaign

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of England’s forthcoming pursuit of the triple crown and is a major doubt for the rest of the Six Nations tournament, while Steve Borthwick has fitness concerns over George Furbank and Ellis Genge as his team seek to end their Murrayfield hoodoo on Saturday.

Feyi-Waboso pulled out of the 48-7 victory against Wales 24 hours before kickoff after sustaining a hamstring injury and was replaced by Tom Roebuck. The Exeter winger will be out for “a number of weeks”, ensuring he misses the trip to Murrayfield and the visit of Ireland to Twickenham a week later. He has not yet been ruled out of the entire campaign but the chances of him appearing seem remote and he has been left out of the 36-man squad called into camp last night.

“Manny looks like he will be out for a number of weeks,” Borthwick said. “We’ve got to get specialist opinion before I know exactly how many weeks.”

Furbank sustained a head injury in training and must pass the return-to-play protocols if he is to face Scotland. He has not played for England since November 2024 but Borthwick had hoped to have the Northampton fullback available for the Calcutta Cup. Billy Sela also has a head injury and has been replaced in the squad by George Kloska.
