Sir Clive Woodward was highly satisfied with Eddie Jones’ England Six Nations selection for 2022, but three absences caught him surprise…
#1 Brad Shields
Woodward wrote: “Shields can probably count himself unlucky — he has been consistently outstanding in an injury-hit Wasps team and is playing much better than when Jones rather rushed him into the England squad.”
#2 Adam Radwan
Woodward wrote: “I was a bit disappointed not to see Adam Radwan included. He is a special and different talent with the speed to make an impact at Test level and he would be in my starting XV.”
#3 Will Collier
Woodward wrote: “The omission of Will Collier is another debating point. There hasn’t been a better tighthead in the Premiership this season and he will be worth bearing in mind if for any reason the England scrum starts creaking.”
