Who will make England’s Rugby World Cup squad?

England's Rugby World Cup squad preparation is underway as the tournament approaches in Australia in 12 months. Steve Borthwick's side has had a mixed start to the cycle, but the recent 12-match winning run, coupled with extensive resources and a large talent pool, suggests they will be a genuine contender. Head coach Borthwick is expected to hand out enhanced EPS contracts to the core group, with a focus on those most likely to make the final 33-man squad.

Key positions are identified for hookers, props, locks, back rowers, scrum halves, fly halves, centres, and back threes. The final squad will be determined by performances and potential injuries over the next year.
