Lawrence and Daly lose England central contracts as Borthwick looks to World Cup

England head coach Steve Borthwick has dropped Ollie Lawrence and Elliot Daly from his 25-man central contracts list, with neither player having featured in England's three Nations Championship matches this summer. Daly was nursing an arm injury during the summer, while both players had been prominent during the Six Nations. The omissions are seen as significant indicators of Borthwick's thinking ahead of England's Rugby World Cup campaign, which begins in approximately one year.
