Three uncapped players in England's Six Nations squad

England head coach Steve Borthwick has kept three uncapped players in his trimmed 29-man squad for their opening Six Nations match against Scotland.

Jack Walker, Ollie Hassell-Collins and Fin Smith are the three new faces who keep their places, but Toulouse flanker Jack Willis, Sale lock Jonny Hill, and props Joe Heyes and Bevan Rodd have been excluded for Saturday's Calcutta Cup clash with the Scots at Twickenham.

In the backs, centre Guy Porter, halfback Alex Mitchell and winger Cadan Murley were also left out by Borthwick, who has succeeded Australian Eddie Jones as England coach.

England will be without centre Henry Slade who has not recovered after a hip injury earlier this month, while Dan Kelly and vice-captain Courtney Lawes are also on the injury list.

On Friday, it was announced fullback Elliot Daly would miss the entire Six Nations championship because of a hamstring injury.

Hooker George McGuigan withdrew from the squad last week and forward Luke Cowan-Dickie is set to miss the Scotland match with an ankle problem.
