Overview
- Reports indicate Borthwick met Amashukeli this week with a file of around 40 alleged Australian side-entry examples from the Rugby Championship.
- Australia captain Harry Wilson called the claims selective and not dangerous, with the Wallabies pushing back at suggestions they are coached to offend.
- England start George Ford at fly-half in a matchday 23 featuring 12 British & Irish Lions, with Guy Pepper to start on the flank and Henry Pollock among the replacements.
- Bookmakers rate England strong favourites for Saturday’s 15:10 GMT kickoff at Twickenham, a venue where Australia claimed an overtime win last year.
- Several Europe-based Wallabies are unavailable as the match falls outside the international window, with Tane Edmed at fly-half and Wilson leading the side.
