- The head of England, Steve Borthwick, is preparing to renew his failed background
- Marcus Smith is likely to fall to the bank for Sunday's house clash with Italy
- The center of the exeter Henry Slade is in danger of being out of the squad completely
Marcus Smith and Henry Slade will be scheduled to be the high -profile victims of a review of the England team on Wednesday when Steve Borthwick prepares to renew their failed back line.
The chief coach will present the announcement of his team, which was originally planned for Friday, and reveal some seismic changes behind the Scrum.
Mail Sport understands that Marcus Smith will be degraded to a bank role against Italy on Twickenham on Sunday, while Slade is in danger of being omitted on the 23rd completely.
The sources have indicated that the veteran Exeter center will be replaced in the center of the field by Fraser Dingwall, to form an All-Northampton alliance, 9-10-12 with other Santos Alex Mitchell and end Smith.
Slade and Ollie Lawrence had become a pairing of the center of the field established in the last year, but now Borthwick is ready to risk a new combination, hoping to turn on England's difficult attack.

With Marcus Smith outside the XV, his place in the back-back must be taken by Elliot Daly de Sarracens, who has had a revealing impact from the bank on the narrow victories on France and Scotland, noting the decisive and last attempt that the hosts beat the French last month.
However, this will come as a devastating setback for the creator of Harlequins Smith Games, who rooted as the 10 headlines in the national team last year.
The 26 -year -old aligned in the middle of the fly in eight successive tests after taking advantage of his opportunity when George Ford lost the summer tour to Japan and New Zealand last year due to an injury.
But when he was transferred to full-back to pave the way for End Smith to be promoted, he suggested that the writing was on the wall for Magic Marcus and is now reduced to a backup role, with important implications for his prospects of winning a place on the tour of the Lions of Australia.
