England have suffered another setback ahead of their Guinness Six Nations title defence after Sam Underhill was withdrawn from Eddie Jones’ squad because of a hip injury.

Underhill would have started the opening fixture against Scotland at Twickenham on February 6 but he will now miss several rounds of the tournament. Jack Willis has been named as his replacement.
