France-based star joins England squad

NEWS: England head coach Steve Borthwick has made a minor alteration to his squad ahead of the July Test series.

Henry Arundell is the new face in the squad, who assembled on Tuesday for a four-day training camp at the England Rugby Performance Centre at Pennyhill Park.

The former London Irish man has not been involved with the national side since the 2023 World Cup due to his contract with Racing 92.

However, he is now eligible for the England side after penning a two-year deal with Premiership side Bath, where he will join in the new season.

The versatile back can play both wing and fullback.
