Lion back in as Steve Borthwick cuts rookie from England squad

Henry Arundell - PA

Elliot Daly has returned to the England fold as Steve Borthwick named his latest training squad ahead of next weekend’s Test against New Zealand at Allianz Stadium.

Borthwick has added Daly and Bath centre Max Ojomoh, while Northampton lock Tom Lockett drops out.

The rehab group has also been reduced, with only Charlie Ewels still on the sidelines.

British & Irish Lion star Daly was sidelined last week but now rejoins the group after England extended their unbeaten run to nine matches with a 38-18 win over Fiji at Twickenham.

Bath wing Henry Arundell delivered the decisive moment with a blistering 69th-minute finish to kill off a spirited Fijian challenge, sealing a result that keeps England’s perfect autumn intact. It was the 23-year-old’s first appearance since the 2023 World Cup, with his brief spell at Racing 92 having ruled him out of the Six Nations earlier this year.

England now face the daunting challenge of the All Blacks, who are coming off victories over Scotland and Ireland.

“We look forward to it. Can’t wait. I love playing against the best in the world,” said loosehead Ellis Genge. “It will be a battle of attrition. In years gone by they’ve been known for chucking the ball about but they’ve got some big physical lumps in there now, so we’ll relish that.”

Wonder what kind of relationship Borthwick really has with his players. I doubt it’s anywhere near what Erasmus has with his guys.
