If you’re looking for the current year, check out our list of all 2023 Six Nations squads.
All the squads for the Guinness Six Nations rugby tournament were announced in January 2022.
We’ve broken down the squads by forwards and backs and called out the most notable omissions.
As has been the trend in recent years, France named the largest squad while Italy name the smallest.
England Six Nations Squad
Eddie Jones named an England squad of 36 players for the Six Nations.
Several notable omissions do not seem to be due to injury. In the forwards, Sam Underhill has been omitted, as have brothers Billy and Mako Vunipola.
In the backs, flyhalf George Ford was the most eye-catching commission.
