Six Nations: In Girona with England's centres & Genge
Rugby Union WeeklyAvailable for over a year
Chris heads to England's training camp in Girona after Steve Borthwick named his team to face Wales in their Six Nations opener. He sits down with England's centres, Northampton's Tommy Freeman and Fraser Dingwall. They talk golf, how to deal with Henry Pollock's energy in camp and why they click on and off the pitch. Maro Itoje is on the bench, and we speak to the Saints duo and Ellis Genge about how the squad has rallied round the England skipper since losing his mother. Genge also chats about bonding with Fin Smith over UFC and how impressed he’s been with the young props who have come into the setup. With Genge soon to have 76 caps to his name, is he starting to think about joining the centurion club? And how are England approaching a wounded Wales this weekend?
