England Men's Head Coach Steve Borthwick has announced his official 33-player squad for the 2023-2024 season.

Captaincy Rumors Swirl

Among the most anticipated aspects of the squad announcement is the naming of the new captain. Owen Farrell has been England's skipper since 2018, but there have been rumors that Borthwick may choose to appoint a different player to lead the team. Potential candidates include Courtney Lawes, Maro Itoje, and Tom Curry.

New Faces in the Squad

Borthwick has included several uncapped players in his squad, including prop Wilco Louw and wing Max Malins. These players have impressed with their performances for their clubs this season and will be hoping to make their international debuts in the coming months.

World Cup Preparations

The 2023 Rugby World Cup is the ultimate goal for England, and Borthwick's squad selection is a significant step in their preparations for the tournament.
