Steve Borthwick names 36-man England squad for France as Marcus Smith returns

Steve Borthwick has named three fly-halves in his 36-man England squad to prepare for the Guinness Six Nations clash with France on Saturday after re-calling Marcus Smith following his man of the match performance for Harlequins against Exeter Chiefs at the weekend.

Having been dropped from the national training camp in Brighton last week to get game time, Smith returns to join Owen Farrell and George Ford as the options for Steve Borthwick at number 10. Smith came off the bench during England’s last two Six Nations matches against Italy and Wales, but played less than nine minutes of Test rugby across those fixtures.
