Northampton full-back George Furbank is set to make his England debut against France in the Six Nations on Sunday.

Bath's Anthony Watson was ruled out with a calf injury on Thursday - setting the stage for Furbank or Ollie Thorley to win a first cap.

Coach Eddie Jones names his team for the Six Nations opener in Paris this morning, but Furbank is expected to start at 15, with regular full-back Elliot Daly moving to the wing.
