Six Nations 2023: 'No concern' over picking Courtney Lawes for Wales, says Richard Cockerill
England would have "no concern" over Courtney Lawes returning from injury to face Wales despite a lack of game time, says coach Richard Cockerill.
Forward and former England captain Lawes, who has been out of the game with concussion as well as glute and calf injuries, has 96 England caps and will return to full training on Thursday. Sinckler was ruled out of training this week after needing stitches on his face following Sunday's win against Italy, but Cockerill confirmed the prop would be available for the Wales game. Curry has been absent with a hamstring injury.Steve Borthwick took over as England head coach in December after a disappointing 2022 for the side and, alongside Cockerill, has been working to fix a set-piece that struggled to compete with the world's best.
