Overview
- Head coach Steve Borthwick confirmed a 36-man Nations Championship group that will assemble at Pennyhill Park ahead of the Twickenham match.
- George Furbank, Seb Atkinson and Ollie Chessum have been cleared to train after missing the Japan game and are available for selection.
- Uncapped Harlequins flanker Jack Kenningham has been added to the forwards in place of the injured Tom Curry.
- Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Harry Randall remain ruled out with injury, forcing England to manage short-term gaps while keeping squad continuity.
- England arrive on the back of consecutive wins, including a 78-15 victory over Japan, while New Zealand come in after a loss to Wales so fitness returns and back-row choices will shape the Twickenham contest.
