Eddie Jones surprises everyone by leaving out Joe Cokanasiga for Scotland clash

EDDIE JONES has hinted that Joe Cokanasiga will be part of England’s World Cup squad despite dropping the rookie wing for the climax to the Six Nations against Scotland.

A week after being compared to Jonah Lomu by Clive Woodward in response to a bulldozing man of the match display against Italy, Cokanasiga is unable to even secure a place on the bench.

Taking the Fijian-born giant’s place on the right wing is Jack Nowell, who has recovered from a shoulder stinger injury, while Ben Te’o is present as replacement threequarter cover.
