Joe Marchant recalled to England squad for training camp
LONDON: Centre Joe Marchant won a recall to the England squad on Sunday after being included in a 36-player training camp for next month’s Nations Championship, the Rugby Football Union announced.
Centre Joe Marchant has been called back into the England rugby squad for the training camp leading up to the Nations Championship next month, the Rugby Football Union announced on Sunday. Marchant had previously left to play in France after the 2023 World Cup, but his return to play for Sale Sharks has now re-eligible him for selection.
Marchant is part of a 36-player training camp at Twickenham, where coach Steve Borthwick will finalize his picks for upcoming home tests against Australia, Japan, and New Zealand. Three uncapped players - Greg Fisilau, Archie McParland, and Kepu Tuipulotu - have also been included in the camp, despite having been part of previous squads or training sessions.
Captain Maro Itoje returns after a prolonged absence, while forwards Fin Baxter and Will Stuart return from injuries that kept them out of previous selections. However, Chandler Cunningham-South and Benhard Janse van Rensburg are left out due to injury, and veteran lock Courtney Lawes, who has returned from a stint in France, has not been recalled to the squad.
