Joe Marchant has been named in England's training squad for the upcoming Nations Championship, marking his first call-up since the 2023 World Cup. His return follows a two-year stint in France with Stade Français, after which he joined Sale in the Gallagher Premiership, making him eligible for selection once more.
Alongside Marchant, Gloucester's Will Joseph has also been included in the 36-man squad. England's head coach Steve Borthwick is dealing with injury challenges in the midfield, particularly with Seb Atkinson's knee rehabilitation and Benhard Janse van Rensburg's concussion issues.
