Benhard Janse van Rensburg is poised to make his England debut off the bench in Friday’s non-cap international against a France XV in Vannes.
South Africa-born Janse van Rensburg does not qualify for England on residency grounds until July 8 but is able to be picked because the Stade de la Rabine showdown is not a Test.
Max Ojomoh forms a centre partnership with Seb Atkinson, with one of them to make way when Janse van Rensburg is thrust into the action in the curtain-raiser to next month’s 25,000-mile tour that spans three continents.
Teenage try machine Noah Caluori makes his third appearance for a senior England team after being chosen on the right wing, although he has yet to win his first cap.
George Ford leads the team and forms a half-back axis alongside Harry Randall while Marcus Smith is fielded at full-back.
