Eddie Jones was poised on Thursday night to make a change to the England team who claimed an epic victory over Ireland last weekend by changing wingers for the clash with France.

Exeter’s Jack Nowell is set to be demoted to the bench when the head coach names his line-up on Friday morning for Sunday’s Guinness Six Nations encounter at Twickenham. 

The most logical scenario is that Chris Ashton will replace Nowell in the No 14 shirt, although giant Bath rookie Joe Cokanasiga has also been retained in the training squad and is available after recovering from a knee injury.
