Fiji-born winger Joe Cokanasiga has been named in Englands’ 35-man squad for the Six Nations.

The 21-year old suffered a knee injury earlier and has been racing against time to be fit for Six Nations.

England’s Head Coach Eddie Jones says he has been hunting for a hulking wing with size and power.

The Fijian rookie came into Jones’ radar after an outstanding performance scoring a try on his first two England appearances against Japan and Australia last year.

The Jones’ coached side will play against Ireland in its opening Guinness Six Nations match on the 2nd of next month.
