George Ford and Jamie George to co-captain 36-man England squad on summer tour of Argentina and USA | Rugby Union News


Jamie George and George Ford will co-captain a 36-man England squad that features 10 uncapped players on this summer’s tour to Argentina and the USA.

Steve Borthwick’s side contest a two-Test series against Los Pumas, in Buenos Aires on July 5 and on San Juan on July 12 – both live on Sky Sports Action – before travelling to face the USA in Washington DC on July 19.

The squad, which comprises 20 forwards and 16 backs, has a combined total of 561 caps, will be co-captained by Saracens hooker George and Sale fly-half Ford, and features 10 uncapped players.

Bath’s Premiership-winning trio Will Muir, Max Ojomoh and Guy Pepper, Gloucester’s Charlie Atkinson, Seb Atkinson and Arthur Clark, Harlequins’ Oscar Beard and Luke Northmore, Northampton’s Emmanuel Iyogun and Joe Carpenter of Sale Sharks have all earned their first international call-ups.

“The three-Test series is a huge challenge and a valuable opportunity for the continued development of this squad,” Borthwick said.

“For some of the younger players, this will be their first experience of touring overseas with England. Travelling together helps strengthen team bonds and offers a valuable chance for new players to integrate into our environment.

“It’s an exciting test for us, and we’re looking forward to seeing how we continue to evolve as a team.”
