Jones: ‘We’re not sure what it is – we’re running tests’Youngs set to win 100th cap against ItalyElliot Daly will miss the start of England’s autumn campaign this weekend as he awaits tests on a leg problem but the head coach, Eddie Jones, has hinted that Leicester’s Ben Youngs will win his 100th cap in
Italy next week and could extend his Test career for several more seasons.
Daly, along with the still-injured prop Joe Marler, will not feature against the Barbarians on Sunday and looks an unlikely starter in Rome unless specialists give him the all-clear this week. “Elliot has had a bump on his leg for a good period of time,” Jones said. “We’re not sure what’s wrong so we’re going to get some tests done and we’ll wait and see what the answer is. He will see a consultant and then we’ll have a pretty good idea of where he’s at.”
