“There’s good news as far as the squad is confirmed, as both flanker Tom Curry and lock George Martin have resumed full training.
“Curry’s workload was being managed final week, he would not have an harm as such, however George Martin does have a knee drawback. He was warming up very fastidiously earlier than coaching immediately, so we’ll keep watch over that because the week progresses.
“No 8 Alex Dombrandt has been added to the training squad after an impressive performance for Harlequins against Saracens at the weekend, but he’ll do well to oust Tom Willis from the back-row after his impressive display against France.
“One other man who shone in that recreation was fly-half Fin Smith, the Northampton participant making his first begin for England and was man of the match a few weeks in the past, and he’ll doubtless begin once more.
“The man he replaced at 10 was Marcus Smith, who started at full-back and didn’t have his best game against France. Whether Steve Borthwick sticks with him at full-back or brings in a more established 15, the likes of Elliot Daly or Freddie Steward, just to shore things up at the back is something England could consider this week.
“Off the bench, Jamie George and Ollie Chessum have been notably spectacular and so they too can be pushing for a begin towards Scotland.”
