England XV vs France XV LIVE! England take on France in a non-cap rugby international at Allianz Stadium Twickenham this afternoon. Steve Borthwick is without a huge contingent of key players called up for the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia today as he prepares for a summer schedule that includes a one-off match against the USA after a two-Test trip to Argentina, who stunned the Lions in Dublin on Friday night. There are opportunities aplenty for young players to stake their claim for England starting berths ahead of Monday’s squad announcement with so many regulars absent, with Guy Pepper, Seb Atkinson and Joe Carpenter the uncapped trio starting in a watered-down version of Le Crunch, while Oscar Beard and Jack Kenningham are poised to make their first appearances off the bench. This could effectively prove a late Lions audition for returning wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, while Jamie George won’t have given up hope either as he captains the side along with George Ford. France have also named an experimental team without their Top 14 semi-finalists, with potentially nine debuts in a side captained by Gael Fickou and featuring flying wing Theo Attissogbe at full-back.
