Lynagh withdrawn from England squad

Louis Lynagh has tested positive for COVID and has withdrawn from the England squad to face Ireland this weekend.

 
He returned a positive lateral flow test at lunchtime on Monday and immediately went into isolation.  A positive PCR result confirmed the result later that evening.

 
All of the other England players and staff members have undergone daily lateral flow testing, all of which have returned negative results.

 
England are preparing for their Guinness Six Nations tie against Ireland (Saturday 12 March, 4.45pm KO) at the Honda England Performance Centre at Pennyhill Park, Bagshot.
