Rugby World Cup 2023: England star rejects recall plan to nations change

Nathan Hughes has rejected a possible recall from England to represent Fiji at the Rugby World Cup 2023, reports have suggested. The No. 8, who last played for England in March 2019, has reportedly courteously weakened a potential call to play for his home country next month.
