Jamie George returns to England squad for France clash

Jamie George has made a surprising recovery from a hamstring injury and rejoined England's squad ahead of their critical Six Nations match against France. The 34-year-old hooker, who missed the previous game against Ireland, brings significant experience with 97 caps and was recently replaced as captain by Maro Itoje. His return adds depth to the hooker position, challenging Luke Cowan-Dickie and Theo Dan for a spot in the matchday 23. England, having lost 27-22 to Ireland, faces a daunting task against a confident French team that dominated Wales in their opening match. Coach Steve Borthwick's squad remains largely unchanged, but George's inclusion is seen as a vital boost. The match will be crucial for England's hopes in the tournament, as they seek to end a streak of defeats against top-tier opposition.
