Feyi-Waboso isn’t fazed by big stage and is ready for second cap

ENGLAND insist Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is ready to face Wales after Steve Borthwick selected an unchanged team for tomorrow’s clash at Twickenham.

Feyi-Waboso made his Test debut as a late replacement in the round-one victory over Italy and he continues on the bench for the visit of Warren Gatland’s men.

The 21-year-old wing sensation has pledged allegiance to England despite being born and raised in Cardiff.

Borthwick had no hesitation giving FeyiWaboso the opportunity to win his second cap. ‘He’s trained very well and in the little time I’ve known him, he doesn’t seem to get fazed,’ Borthwick said.

Jamie George, who leads England out at Twickenham for the first time, also believes he will rise to the occasion if he steps off the bench.

‘He isn’t fazed by anything,’ George said.

ENGLAND: F Steward, T Freeman, H Slade, F Dingwall, E Daly, G Ford, A Mitchell; J Marler, J George (c), W Stuart; M Itoje, O Chessum; E Roots, S Underhill, B Earl. Reps: T Dan, E Genge, D Cole, A Coles, C Cunningham-South, D Care, F Smith, I Feyi-Waboso.

RECENTLY-appointed co-captain Rory Darge will start tomorrow’s Six Nations showdown at home to France following six weeks out with a knee injury.

The 23-year-old Glasgow flanker takes over the number seven jersey from previous skipper Jamie Ritchie, who drops out of the 23 altogether, in one of three changes — all in the forward-line — to the team that started the 27-26 win away to Wales.

Darge, who has recovered quicker than anticipated, is listed as co-captain alongside stand-off Finn Russell for the Murrayfield showdown.

SCOTLAND: K Rowe, K Steyn, H Jones, S Tuipulotu, D van der Merwe; F Russell (co-c), B White; P Schoeman, G Turner, Z Fagerson, G Gilchrist, S Cummings, M Fagerson, R Darge (co-c), J Dempsey. Reps: E Ashman, A Hepburn, E Millar-Mills, S Skinner, A Christie, 21-George Horne, B Healy, C Redpath.
