Slade Returns as England Freshens XV for Must-Win Fiji Test
England recall Henry Slade to the starting XV for a must-win clash with Fiji, lining up Tommy Freeman on the wing and promoting openside Benhard Janse van Rensburg while handing debuts on the bench to George Kloska, Noah Caluori and Janse van Rensburg. Guy Pepper replaces Tom Curry at openside as Steve Borthwick reshuffles ahead of Saturday’s 14:10 BST Nations Championship fixture at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. Slade had been a late-call bench option in the loss to South Africa, while Fiji name Kalaveti Ravouvou at outside centre and a refreshed half-back pairing.
