Daly on course to face Ireland
By Alex Fisher
Steve Borthwick has revealed that Elliot Daly is on course to play when England attempt to make history by beating Ireland in the Six Nations on Saturday.
Daly was unable to continue as a result of Fraser Brown's tip-tackle early in a 61-21 drubbing of Scotland last weekend, which sealed back-to-back titles for Eddie Jones' men.
The versatile Wasps man was retained in the squad and has been undergoing the return-to-play protocol ahead of the trip to Dublin.
And, according to England forwards coach Borthwick, Daly is on track to feature when England attempt to claim a record-breaking 19th consecutive victory.
"Elliot is progressing really well through the return-to-play protocols. He's gone through every stage really well so far," Borthwick said on Wednesday.
"He has a contact session [on Wednesday] afternoon and then it's team training [on Thursday]."

Mad how this somehow contained absolutely zero information.
Go to commentsI’m looking forward to attending the Twickenham match, I don’t think it will have a bearing on the outcome of the grand prize itself but it will tell us more about each teams’ preparation and game plan. It’s hard to look past one of the big four (I’m including Canada) lifting the trophy in 2025 but sport is a curious thing, there will still be twists and turns in road ahead.
