Max Malins dropped from the England squad for France finale

Despite starting England’s first four Six Nations games, winger Max Malins has been dropped from Eddie Jones’ 28-player squad for the final fixture against Grand Slam chasing France.

After impressing in the opening day defeat to Scotland, Malins has struggled to impose himself in the following three games this campaign.

The 25-year-old Saracen impressed as England’s running threat in the Scotland game. However, England have struggled in attack ever since.

The 28-player squad for the visit of France is:
