England team news: Freddie Steward dropped for Calcutta Cup clash
England have made a surprise selection call at full-back for the Calcutta Cup clash with George Furbank preferred to Freddie Steward.
Steward’s demotion comes just a fortnight after a starring role in England’s win over Wales, with the Leicester back left out for only the second time since his international debut.
Ollie Lawrence returns in midfield after injury, but there is no place in the matchday 23 for Manu Tuilagi.
