Steve Borthwick is set to drop a Rugby World Cup bombshell by leaving Henry Slade out of his final 33-man squad for the forthcoming tournament. 

The Exeter back is one of several players who appeared in England’s disappointing defeat by Wales expected to be axed by Borthwick with Joe Marchant, their brightest performer in Cardiff, preferred.
