Harlequins fullback Louis Lynagh becomes the latest player to be withdrawn from the England's Six Nations squad after testing positive for Covid-19 on Monday.

Lynagh, the son of Wallabies great Michael Lynagh, will undergo isolation and now have to wait for his international debut.

Earlier, Alex Dombrandt is also a doubtful starter for the game against Ireland in the fourth round clash on Saturday as he is recovering from coronavirus after testing positive on Friday. He will not be able to train until Wednesday.

The rest of England's players and staff have returned negative results.

Earlier, Jones had recalled Sam Underhill, Nic Dolly and Alex Mitchell in the Six Nations squad.

England are positioned third in the Six Nations table with two wins from three matches and will face Ireland and France in the last two rounds.
