Borthwick recalls wing man & backs golden oldie for World Cup place

- BY ADAM HATHAWAY

ELLIOT DALY was recalled to the England team after nearly five months out then backed by boss Steve Borthwick to get to the next World Cup - aged 35.

Daly suffered a gruesome broken left arm when the Lions played the Reds on July 2 in Brisbane and was flown home to have 16 screws and a plate put in.

But now Tom Roebuck is sidelined with a foot injury after England's 33-19 win over New Zealand - so Daly is back on the wing against Argentina on Sunday without a game under his belt.

The 33-year-old is a massive asset come World Cups with his ability to play centre, wing and fullback and Borthwick predicts he will be the same at Australia 2027 and beyond.
