Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, an England winger, will sit out Saturday’s Six Nations match against France in Lyon due to a concussion.
In Saturday’s 23-22 triumph over Ireland, the 21-year-old made his first start for England and contributed a vital carry that set up Marcus Smith’s game-winning drop goal.
Following that, he experienced the aftereffects of a blow to the head during the game and claimed having a concussion.

As for that kind of stuff, attack coach Richard Wigglesworth stated, “We don’t take any risks.” “No significant incident occurred. After feeling uneasy after being knocked down, he reported the symptoms and was subsequently taken out.
“Although he’s obviously devastated, he reported his symptoms like the wise young man he is. He made the proper decision.”
Feyi-Waboso will probably be replaced on the wing by Elliot Daly, who started the first two games, after England decided not to include him in their 36-man training group.
Before this weekend’s last round of games, Ireland leads with 16 points, followed by England in second place with 12, and France in fourth place with a point differential of 11 with third-placed Scotland.
