The 22-year-old Exeter Chiefs star dislocated his shoulder during a bruising Premiership battle with Sale Sharks last month, leaving him with a tough decision to make. Initially, there was hope he could recover without going under the knife and potentially feature in the tournament. However, a second scan changed the game, confirming surgery as the best course of action.

The procedure is likely to keep Feyi-Waboso sidelined for up to 12 weeks—a frustrating setback for one of England’s rising stars.

Try machine sidelined

Feyi-Waboso made a huge impression in his debut season, racking up five tries in just eight Tests last year. His explosive pace and finishing ability will be sorely missed as Steve Borthwick prepares his side for a tough opener against Ireland in Dublin on 1 February.

This news adds to England’s mounting injury concerns ahead of the championship, leaving fans wondering who can step up to fill the void.
