EDDIE JONES has been impressed by Elliot Daly’s navigation through a difficult period of his career, picking the versatile England back at outside centre for the first time in almost five years.
A week after being ousted by Max Malins at full-back, Daly has been reinstated to the starting XV for tomorrow’s Six Nations finale against Ireland in Dublin after Henry Slade failed to recover from a calf injury.
Daly last appeared in the midfield against South Africa in 2016. Following a two-year spell on the wing, he reigned as first-choice 15 until a slide in form resulted in his demotion to the bench after winning his 50th cap against Wales in round three.
