Starting for the first time in the defeat against Ireland (27-22) last Saturday, the Harlequins player, aged 25, scored a try but finished the match injured. He is replaced in the group by Saracens fly-half Alex Lozowski, we learned from the same source.

Passed by the MHR

Alex Lozowski played for Montpellier during the 2020-2021 season. On loan from Saracens, he played 27 matches with MHR. In competition with world champion Handre Pollard, he managed to establish himself in the position. At the end of the season he won the club's second Challenge.

At 31, Lozowski, who has five caps, has not played a match with the XV de la Rose since 2018.

A project on the wing

Murley, who will also miss the reception of Scotland on February 22, could be back for the matches against Italy (March 9) and Wales (March 15).

In his absence, coach Steve Borthwick, who will announce the composition of the XV de la Rose on Thursday, is expected to call on Ollie Sleightholme, Tom Roebuck or Elliot Daly at winger.

The XV de la Rose in search of victories

Beaten by Ireland in the opening match, England have lost six of their last seven games before hosting Les Bleus.

The XV de France won 43-0 in their first match of the tournament against Wales on Friday evening.
