(Reuters) - England head coach Eddie Jones is still in the dark regarding the availability of Ospreys flanker Sam Underhill as a possible replacement for injured James Haskell, who could be sidelined for six months with a foot injury.

The 19-year-old Underhill has caught the eye of Jones after a string of impressive displays for the Welsh club, but was overlooked for the Six Nations and the Australia tour due to Rugby Football Union's (RFU) eligibility rules.
