Manu Tuilagi dropped by England as Owen Farrell starts at centre
Manu Tuilagi has been dropped by Steve Borthwick as the England head coach named a revamped side for their Guinness Six Nations opener against Scotland.
Tuilagi, a veteran of 50 caps and England regular when fit, has not even been named in Borthwick's first 23-man squad.
Joe Marchant takes the 31-year-old's place in the England line-up, with Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell to resume their playmaking axis for Saturday’s Calcutta Cup contest at Twickenham.
