Benhard Janse van Rensburg, a South African-born player, is set to make his England debut in a non-cap international against France in Vannes. The match is a curtain-raiser to next month's 25,000-mile tour that spans three continents.
The England team, led by George Ford, will face a strong French team in what is expected to be a demanding fixture. Janse van Rensburg, who does not qualify for England on residency grounds until July 8, will be able to feature in the match due to its non-cap status.
The team also includes several players from the Gallagher Premiership, including Max Ojomoh and Charlie Ewels, who start in the centre and second row respectively. Noah Caluori, a teenage try machine, will make his third appearance for a senior England team on the right wing.
England's head coach, Steve Borthwick, expressed his excitement for the challenge ahead, stating that the team is looking forward to an exciting fixture and the opportunity to develop their game in the lead-up to the forthcoming Nations Championship.
The England squad for next month's Tests against South Africa, Fiji, and Argentina is due to be named on Monday, with Borthwick considering whether to rest captain Maro Itoje.
