England rugby: Jamie George included in 33-player training squad after British and Irish Lions omission | Rugby Union News


Jamie George and George Ford have been included in England’s 33-player training squad after both missed out on British and Irish Lions selection. 

The squad named by Steve Borthwick does not include the 13 English players who have made the Lions panel, nor does it include any Northampton Saints or Bath players ahead of the weekend’s Champions Cup and Challenge Cup finals in Cardiff.

The two-day camp forms part of the preparations for the upcoming match between an England XV and a France XV at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday June 21 (kick-off 3.15pm).

Exeter wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is named, despite currently being out with a shoulder injury, while back-row Tom Willis, centre Henry Slade and full-back Freddie Steward are other recognisable names among a number of uncapped players.
