England boss Eddie Jones has made two changes to his 28-man squad to face Italy next Saturday in round two of the Guinness Six Nations. Off the pace last weekend, the defending champions were spectacularly ambushed by Scotland at Twickenham.

Jones claimed in the aftermath that it was a loss which England could never atone for. Nevertheless, he has taken remedial action following the setback, making two changes ahead of their next outing versus the Azzurri. A statement from the RFU on Tuesday morning read: “Eddie Jones has made two changes to his England squad for the 2021 Guinness Six Nations.

“Kyle Sinckler and Mako Vunipola have joined the 28-player tournament squad, as England prepare for Saturday’s game against Italy at Twickenham Stadium (2.15pm KO). Harry Williams and Tom West have returned to their clubs.”

      Eddie Jones talks to the media in the wake of England’s shock round one loss to Scotland

      England had been heavily backed last Saturday to open their 2021 title defence in winning fashion against an opposition that had not won a match at Twickenham since 1983.

      However they failed to fire against the Scots and Jones was irritable in the aftermath when quizzed on his team’s failings, his snappy answers including ‘everyone is a good selector after the game’, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about mate’, and ‘I think I just gave the explanation’.

      “You never atone for a game like this, this stays with you for a long time. The most important thing is we get together, we find a way to improve our performance, play like England does against Italy next week,” added Jones, who is set to hold a media conference on Tuesday evening.

      Sinckler was banned last month for aggressively swearing at a referee during Bristol’s Gallagher Premiership win over Exeter (he went on to deliver some riveting evidence at his independent disciplinary hearing), while Vunipola has been rehabbing an achilles injury since last playing for England in the November win over Wales in the Autumn Nations Cup.

      My Journey Through Loss, Discovery, and Recover/ Hack Savvy Tech


      Since December 2024, my family and I had been planning the perfect getaway to the Lake District. After years of saving and sacrificing, we decided it was finally time to treat ourselves to a dream vacation. We were planning a trip that would cost us £15,000 in total, a considerable amount that we hoped would create lasting memories. I found an appealing holiday package offered by what seemed like a reputable travel agency online. After reviewing all the details and comparing it to other options, I felt confident and excited, so I went ahead and booked the trip on Valentine's Day, thinking it would be a special gesture for our family. I paid £5,000 as a deposit for what I thought would be the vacation of a lifetime.However, things quickly took a devastating turn. After making the payment, I received a vague email confirmation, but then, all communication stopped altogether. When I tried to get in touch with the agency, their phone lines were disconnected, and their website went offline. It was clear that something wasn’t right. I was in disbelief, but I quickly realized that my family and I had been scammed. The £5,000 I had paid, as part of the larger £15,000 cost, seemed completely lost . As a Marketing Executive, I’m usually quite cautious with online transactions, but in this case, I let my excitement and trust cloud my judgment. The emotional impact of losing such a significant amount of money, especially after planning this vacation for months, was overwhelming. My family was devastated, and I felt deeply betrayed by the fraudulent agency. I didn’t know where to turn for help.That’s when I found Hack Savvy Tech . After reading about their expertise in helping people who had fallen victim to online scams, I decided to reach out. From the very first consultation, they made me feel supported and reassured. The team immediately began investigating the fraudulent travel agency and quickly uncovered a history of scams involving the same company. Hack Savvy Tech guided me through the process of disputing the payment with my bank, Lloyds Bank, providing all the necessary evidence and documentation. They handled everything on my behalf, communicating with the bank and working through all the complexities of the dispute. Their knowledge and dedication were invaluable, and after a few weeks, I was thrilled to find out that they had successfully recovered the full £5,000 I had lost.Not only did I get back the full amount, but Lloyds Bank also provided additional compensation for the stress and inconvenience caused by the scam. Thanks to Hack Savvy Tech, I was able to rebook a legitimate holiday to the Lake District for my family. With the money we recovered, we planned the vacation we had dreamed of, and we made unforgettable memories together.What had started as a heartbreaking experience turned into a joyous and well-deserved family getaway, all thanks to the expertise and support of Hack Savvy Tech.
