Elliot Daly stood down with immediate effect

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.

(Harlequins) – Emerging loosehead prop who enjoyed a breakthrough campaign and has become a regular in England squads.

(Sale Sharks) – Dynamic back-row forward renowned for his breakdown work and defensive intensity.

(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.

(Northampton Saints) – Powerful tighthead prop who joined Northampton after impressing in the Premiership with Newcastle Falcons.

(Exeter Chiefs) – Athletic back-rower viewed as one of England’s brightest young forward prospects.

(Bath Rugby) – Physical winger known for his aerial ability and strong finishing record for Bath.

(Sale Sharks) – Powerful loosehead prop who has already earned senior England honours despite his young age.

(Bath Rugby) – Hard-hitting flanker and established England international, widely regarded as one of the Premiership’s best defensive forwards.

From the early days of professionalism to the modern era, England has seen a host of legendary captains wearing the armband.

Whether it's the grit of Will Carling in the 90s, the tactical brilliance of Martin Johnson, or the fearless leadership of Owen Farrell, this quiz will challenge even the most dedicated fans.
