Sale’s Joe Marchant and Gloucester’s Will Joseph are two notable inclusions among Steve Borthwick’s 36-man England squad, announced on Sunday, for the conclusion of the Nations Championship in November, with both boosting the head coach’s midfield options.
The 30-year-old centre Marchant last appeared for England at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, and spent two seasons at Stade Français in the Top 14, before returning to the Prem with Sale Sharks for this season.
