“The Six Nations debut is a test of skill, preparation, and determination for Sela.”
England head coach Steve Borthwick has named a strong squad for the 2026 Six Nations Championship. One of the highlights is the inclusion of uncapped prop Vilikesa “Billy” Sela. The Bath Rugby tighthead earned his first senior England call-up after impressive performances at club and age-group levels.
Sela joins two other uncapped players, Greg Fisilau and Emmanuel Iyogun, in the 36-man squad. Borthwick wants to mix fresh talent with experienced internationals as England aims to perform strongly in the tournament.
England faces injuries in the front row, which opens the door for new players to step up. Sela has represented England at Under-20 level and impressed for Bath. Now he has the chance to make an impact on the international stage.
England begin their Six Nations campaign against Wales in early February. Sela will hope to turn his first squad selection into a senior debut in the championship.
