Six Nations: Rising star Immanuel Feyi-Waboso out of England's finale against France with self-reported concussion

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been ruled out of the final round of Six Nations games, where England will play France, because of a self-reported concussion.

Feyi-Waboso, 21, was one of the standout performers during England’s shock 23-22 over champions-elect Ireland at Twickenham on Saturday.

However the breakout winger reported concussion symptoms after the game and now it has been confirmed that he will play no part in the clash with France.

It had been expected that he would start at wing despite only having made his full debut in the win over Ireland, but now Elliot Daly seems best placed to come in for the game in Lyon.

“Manny felt a bit groggy, so he is unfortunately ruled out of the game, but we don’t take any risks with that sort of stuff,” attack coach Richard Wigglesworth said of the decision.

“There was no major incident. He had a knock and didn’t feel quite right, so he reported the symptoms and then was removed accordingly,

“He’s obviously gutted but being the smart lad he is, he reported his symptoms. He did the right thing.

“It had been building for Manny. You have to integrate these players carefully and I think Steve did that well in how he exposed him to Test rugby so he was ready to fly.

“He played really well, got his hands on the ball and did what we asked him to do and brought his talents.

“It’s very disappointing for him as I know how desperate he was to play again and how much he enjoyed his first start.”

England come into the final weekend trailing Ireland by four points.

That means they will need to win and secure bonus points against France and hope Ireland slip up at home to Scotland.

Both France and Scotland are a point behind England on 11 points, however because Ireland have such an enormous points differential it would take something special for either nation to overtake the leaders.
