England name their XV for Saturday’s Nations Championship opener against South Africa, with George Furbank set to make his first start for England since 2024. Both outlets report that Furbank is included in the starting line-up, marking a return to the starting role after time away from the team’s starting XV. Henry Pollock is named in the matchday squad but does not start and instead remains on the bench. The selections mean Furbank begins the game for England while Pollock is available as a substitute option during the match. The reports agree on the key points of the team news: Furbank’s first start since 2024 and Pollock’s continued role as a bench player for the South Africa fixture. Both pieces are focused on the make-up of England’s starting XV and the immediate availability of the two players for the opener.
