Tom Willis, the Saracens No 8, has been in exceptional form this season, notably excelling in a recent match against Bristol. His impressive performances have positioned him as a strong candidate for a call-up, possibly even starting ahead of his Saracens teammate Ben Earl. Meanwhile, Max Ojomoh, the Bath centre and son of former England back row Steve Ojomoh, is also in contention for his Test debut. Ojomoh has showcased his skills in recent matches against Northampton and Clermont, demonstrating excellent handling and intelligent running lines. Although Ollie Lawrence and Henry Slade are favored to retain their spots in the midfield, Ojomoh is making a compelling case for inclusion.
Scrum-half Alex Mitchell is set to return to the squad after missing the Autumn internationals due to injury, which will enhance England's pace and fluidity in attack, as well as provide more control in their kicking game. Additionally, Sale scrum-half Raffi Quirke could be considered as a viable option from the bench. However, the team will need to adapt to the absence of Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who will miss the entire Six Nations due to a dislocated shoulder.
England's recent form has been inconsistent, having lost five Tests in a row before securing a victory against Japan. This season, the men's team has won only 2 out of 7 matches, with Marcus Smith leading as the top point scorer. The Six Nations Championship format remains unchanged, with each team playing every other team once, commencing on the first weekend in February and concluding on the second or third Saturday in March. England's fixtures will include matches against Ireland, France, Scotland, Italy, and Wales.
