Fraser Dingwall addresses England squad omission after recent performance struggles

Summary

Northampton Saints captain Fraser Dingwall has addressed his exclusion from the latest England rugby squad for upcoming autumn fixtures. The inside centre served as the team's primary choice during last year’s autumn series and the opening three matches of the 2026 Six Nations. Following a campaign where England recorded four defeats in five games, Dingwall was omitted from the squad for the July Nations Championship matches and the current 36-man training group. He acknowledged his own performance levels during the tournament were not sufficient to maintain his place. Dingwall remains in contact with coach Steve Borthwick regarding his international future. England is scheduled to face Australia, Japan, and New Zealand in November.
