England are preparing for the inaugural Nations Championship, with Borthwick’s side set to face South Africa in Johannesburg before further clashes against Fiji and Argentina later in the summer.
The tour is seen as a key opportunity for England to build momentum and depth ahead of the next international cycle, but the growing injury list has already complicated preparations.
Fin Baxter
(Harlequins) – Emerging loosehead prop who enjoyed a breakthrough campaign and has become a regular in England squads.
Ben Curry
(Sale Sharks) – Dynamic back-row forward renowned for his breakdown work and defensive intensity.
Elliot Daly
(Saracens) – The experienced England international is sidelined after suffering a fractured arm and will likely miss the entire summer. It is the second time in just 10 months that Daly has sustained the injury, having previously fractured his arm during a warm-up match for the British & Irish Lions last July — an injury that ruled him out of the remainder of their tour of Australia.
Trevor Davison
(Northampton Saints) – Powerful tighthead prop who joined Northampton after impressing in the Premiership with Newcastle Falcons.
