Ollie Lawrence and Manu Tuilagi backed to 'kick the door down'
By PA
Kevin Sinfield has insisted that Ollie Lawrence and Manu Tuilagi are “ready to kick the door down” if England beef up their backline for Saturday’s Calcutta Cup clash with Scotland.
The hard running centres are available for the first time in the 2024 Guinness Six Nations having recovered from the respective groin and hip injuries that forced them to miss the opening two rounds.
Head coach Steve Borthwick must decide whether to break up the midfield partnership of Fraser Dingwall and Henry Slade that started the wins against Italy and Wales or add more ball-carrying clout to the backline.
“Ollie and Manu bring power,” said assistant coach Sinfield ahead of the trip to Murrayfield. “Fraser and Henry offer a bit more ball movement and a bit more finesse at the line but what Manu and Ollie bring is they will kick the door down.
“It’s about trying to find the right balance for us this weekend. Ollie and Manu haven’t been in with us that long but we know them pretty well from the World Cup and what they have done previously.
“Then there is the experience of Henry and Fraser’s ball skills and games management in and around that midfield, so we have got a real healthy competition there.”
Borthwick will make at least one enforced change when he names his team on Thursday afternoon after scrum-half Alex Mitchell was ruled out by a knee injury sustained in training. Mitchell was due to see a specialist on Tuesday when a date for his return will be set.
It clears the path for 37-year-old veteran Danny Care to win his 99th cap as a starter in Edinburgh on Saturday if he holds off the challenge of Ben Spencer, who is likely to feature on the bench.
“Danny has had a great career and I have loved working with him. He looks after himself really well and to still be playing at 37, you’ve got to be doing that early in your career,” reckoned Sinfield.
“We all know the type of professional that he is and the experience he has. You can’t measure how valuable experience is because it gives confidence, belief and trust to those around him.
“He is really good around the group because of his personality. He has always got a smile on his face.
"He understands people really well and he gets the best out of those around him. It would be awesome if he can get to 100 caps.”

I saw an opportunity to invest in cryptocurrency about two months ago and I took my chance. I contacted a broker who I saw videos on youtube and I invested a huge sum of money around £665,211 which was deposited using Bitcoin with hopes to gain massive returns on my investment. I kept tracking my portfolio and it was increasing daily on the website. It made me excited and confident. Fast forward to 30 Days after, which was supposed to be my payout date, I tried to make a withdrawal as I needed money to foot my bills and buy my new house, but the broker insisted that I continue to invest or will have to pay some fees to withdraw my funds. That was very disappointing to hear, Contact ghostchampionwizard[at]gmail,com because it was all going smoothly when I deposited the funds. Eventually, I paid the fees which was about £45,800. I was desperate now because according to my portfolio, I had made about £1,512,400. Now you see why I was willing to pay the fees. It turned out it was a scheme to keep asking me for more money for one thing or the other, like Taxes, miner fees and so many others. I declined, and instead I won’t pay more. They locked my account for several weeks. A month after, I saw a post on Quora about GHOST CHAMPION RECOVERY HACKERS which stated they were capable of getting my money recovered. With a little faith in me, I contacted them immediately, and discussed my situation, and sent all the information I had.
In less than a week, I was able to recoup my BTC. I praise the universe for sending them my way. I wish to recommend them to everyone out there. they are capable of recover any crypto coins Bitcoin, Usdt ,Eth, Dogecoin, now i have my funds back with there guidelines and skills you can always contact them via WhatsApp : +44 7383450230 for inquiries.
