June 17 : South Africa-born centre Benhard Janse van Rensburg is set to make his England debut from the bench in Friday’s uncapped international against France, England Rugby announced on Wednesday.
“We’re looking forward to an exciting challenge against a strong French team in what will be a demanding fixture,” said head coach Steve Borthwick.
“I’m eager to see this group get out there and show what they’re capable of. It’s a great opportunity to keep developing our game ahead of the upcoming Nations Championship.”
• Borthwick has previously dismissed criticism over the selection of Janse van Rensburg in England’s training squad ahead of the Nations Championship, with the Bristol centre qualifying on residency grounds.
