The 10 England bolters ready to shake up Steve Borthwick's squad this autumn: A 19-year-old Northampton flier, a Tongan-born wildcard in the centres, the hooker 'built like cement' and the 2003 World Cup winner's son

It is also now less than a month until England’s November Nations Championship campaign begins with matches against Australia, Japan and New Zealand, before the inaugural finals weekend at Twickenham. Steve Borthwick will name his first autumn training squad later this month and after a rocky 2026 that saw him register England's worst Six Nations performance and a first-ever defeat by Italy, he may well be on the lookout for new blood, with less than a year to go until the World Cup.
