England head coach Steve Borthwick wants “as many England players as possible” involved with the Lions as he prepares an unfamiliar lineup to face France at Twickenham on Saturday.
There are five uncapped names in an experimental England squad that was announced on Thursday, three of whom are set to start the match, with 14 players currently in Dublin with Andy Farrell’s side for Friday’s game against Argentina following Jack van Poortvliet’s call-up this week.
