Umbro, the English kit sponsors, have put together a design specially for the occasion.

"We are extremely proud to be celebrating 150 years of rugby union in England and the iconic red rose," said Bill Sweeney, Rugby Football Union chief executive.


Jones is expected to announce his Six Nations squad on Friday. The number of players he has been permitted to pick has been reduced to 28 in light of Covid-19 restrictions.
