The two hookers replace Theo Dan (Saracens), who sustained a knee injury during Saturday’s victory over Argentina, and Jamie George (Saracens), who was called into the British and Irish Lions touring party on Saturday.

England’s summer tour concludes with a match against the USA Eagles in the United States’ capital city this Saturday, 19 July.

Oghre has represented England A and U20s, but has yet to make his Test debut, while Blamire has won seven caps, having made a try-scoring debut against the Eagles in 2021.

Blamire followed up with a hat-trick against Canada in his second cap and has scored six tries in total.

The 27-year-old joined Leicester at the end of the 2024/25 Gallagher Premiership season from Newcastle.

Everyone knows Robertson is not supposed to be doing the coaching

Yeah it’s not actually that I’m against the idea this is not good enough, I just don’t know whos responsible for the appalling selections, whether the game plan will work, whether it hasn’t worked because Razor has had too much input or too little input, and whether were better or worse for the coachs not making it work against themselves.

I think that’s the more common outlook rather than people panicking mate, I think they just want something to happen and that needs an outlet. For instance, yes, we were still far too good for most in even weaker areas like the scrum, but it’s the delay in the coaches seemingly admitting that it’s been dissapoint. How can they not see DURING THE GAME it didn’t go right and say it? What are they scared of? Do they think the estimation of the All Blacks will go down in peoples minds? And of course thats not a problem if it weren’t for the fact they don’t do any better the next game! And then they finally seem to see and things get better. I’ve had endless discussions with Chicken about what’s happening at half time, and the lack of any real change. That problem is momentum is consistent with their being NO progress through the year. The team does not improve. The lineout is improved and is good. The scrum is weak and stays weak. The misfires and stays misfiring. When is the new structure following Lancasters Leinster going to click?
