HENRY SHADE

STEVE BORTHWICK will take a major World Cup gamble today by axing midfield star Henry Slade and naming his squad three weeks early.

The former Red Rose captain, who succeeded Eddie Jones as boss just six games ago, has not been afraid to display a ruthless streak.

He has dropped Manu Tuilagi, Ben Youngs, Marcus Smith and even captain Owen Farrell at times.

But sacrificing the versatility and silky skills of Exeter Chiefs star Slade, a former England vice-captain with 56 caps to his name, is a huge shout. The player was informed yesterday.

Borthwick has chosen to limit his options by culling his squad with his team in a three-match losing rut.
