Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is grappling with a dilemma this weekend about whether to have surgery on his dislocated shoulder, which would rule him out of the Six Nations. Mail Sport understands that Exeter's 22-year-old England wing has been advised that it is a '50-50 call' between playing on after rehab or having an operation and accepting that it would mean being out of action for around three months.

As per the terms of the recent club-country PGP deal, national head coach Steve Borthwick has been involved in the deliberations and, in theory, he has the final say about the handling of the situation. England are understandably keen for Feyi-Waboso to be available for the championship, starting in Dublin on February 1, but it is thought that the decision will be left to the player's judgement.

Feyi-Waboso was injured early in the Chiefs' Premiership defeat against Sale in Salford on December 21, when his shoulder popped out and back into its socket. He missed Exeter's clash with Gloucester – which yielded their first league win of the season – after having a scan which was inconclusive.
A second scan was carried out on Tuesday. A specialist reviewed the case information and held talks with all parties towards the end of the week. Now Feyi-Waboso – who is training to be a doctor – will consider his preferred course of action.
