“Vice-captain to retired” – 5 England stars who were kicked to the curb by Steve Borthwick

#5. George Furbank

After reaching 50 appearances for Saints in 2020/21, Furbank earned an England recall to feature against Canada in the summer, before starting at fly-half against Tonga in the 2021 Autumn Nations Series.

A regular squad member under Jones, versatile back Furbank is another who has seen his involvement under Borthwick limited.
