Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, the England wing, will miss the Six Nations finale against France due to concussion.
Despite his standout performance in the win against Ireland, the 21-year-old reported concussion symptoms after the game.
Attack coach Richard Wigglesworth confirmed Feyi-Waboso’s absence, emphasizing the team’s cautious approach regarding player health. Elliot Daly is expected to step in, having started England’s earlier matches in the tournament.
Feyi-Waboso’s journey has been impressive. Just 18 months ago, he was playing for Taunton Titans in National One. However, his rapid progress at Exeter earned him a spot in the England squad for the Six Nations.
He made a memorable impact by scoring his first try against Scotland in round three. Wigglesworth commented on Feyi-Waboso’s development, stating that his introduction to Test rugby has been carefully managed.
This approach has allowed him to gain confidence and showcase his talents effectively on the field. It’s a promising sign for his future as a winger at the international level.
