England XV Names Feyi-Waboso, Ford, George for France XV Warm-Up

England wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is set to return to play against a France XV after a six-month absence due to a dislocated shoulder injury that required surgery. The match, scheduled for June 21 at Allianz Stadium Twickenham, will feature George Ford and Jamie George as co-captains, with Ford nearing 100 international appearances, though this game will not count as a capped match. Due to 13 players being selected for British and Irish Lions duty this summer, including captain Maro Itoje, England is fielding a young and experimental side, giving opportunities to players like Feyi-Waboso and others recovering from injury or waiting for their first cap. The game serves as a warm-up ahead of England's summer tour to Argentina and the USA, with head coach Steve Borthwick emphasizing the chance to develop emerging talent. The squad includes a mixture of experienced players and promising newcomers, such as Bath flankers Ted Hill and Guy Pepper, and Exeter's Feyi-Waboso, who aims to prove his fitness and form for potential Lions selection. The match is anticipated as a competitive test for England's depth and readiness for upcoming international challenges.
