Dawson 'very, very excited' by new-look England

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Former England scrum-half Matt Dawson says he is "very, very excited" about the four years ahead for English rugby, after new head coach Eddie Jones named his first squad. Seven uncapped players were included in the Australian’s 33-man squad before the Six Nations, which starts next month. Dawson says he is "surprised" at the omissions of Tom Youngs and Tom Wood, but believes "English rugby's great enigma" Danny Cipriani, who was also left out, may not merit a place at present - or in the long term. This clip is from 5 live Sport on Wednesday 13 January 2016.
