England ins and outs
No9 Alex Mitchell has rejoined the camp after recovering from a knee injury while No10 Marcus Smith is back in the fold ahead of next week’s clash with Ireland.
Ben Curry’s absence due to injury sees the return of Northampton Saints back-row Tom Pearson, who impressed in England A’s 91-5 victory over Portugal last Sunday.
England’s training camp this week is in York as the national team prepare to face Ireland at Twickenham next weekend.
Borthwick’s side opened their Six Nations account with wins against Italy and Wales but were beaten last weekend by a determined Scotland at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. Feyi-Waboso scored one of England’s two tries in their 30-21 defeat.
England take on Ireland in London before concluding their Six Nations campaign in Lyon as they take on France.
Friday’s training session in York is open to the public (with tickets).
