England recall Dombrandt to squad for Calcutta Cup
England have made a surprising move by recalling Alex Dombrandt to the squad for the upcoming Calcutta Cup match against Scotland.
Dombrandt, who plays as a number 8 for Harlequins, has been in scintillating form in the Premiership this season.
England head coach Eddie Jones believes that Dombrandt’s physicality and ball-carrying ability will be crucial against the tough Scottish side.
This will be Dombrandt’s first appearance for England since the Autumn Nations Cup last year.
His inclusion in the squad has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits, but many are excited to see what he can bring to the team.
The Calcutta Cup is always a fiercely contested match between England and Scotland, and Dombrandt’s presence could add a new dimension to England’s game.
England are looking to bounce back from their disappointing Six Nations campaign so far, and the addition of Dombrandt could give them the spark they need.
Dombrandt will be vying for a spot in the starting lineup alongside the likes of Billy Vunipola and Sam Simmonds.
The match will take place at Twickenham Stadium, and England will be hoping to regain the Calcutta Cup after losing it to Scotland last year.
Overall, the recall of Dombrandt has added an air of excitement to the England camp ahead of this crucial match.
