Furbank Returns as England Face Boks' Highveld Brutality
George Furbank makes his first start in nearly two years in England's Nations Championship opener at Ellis Park.
George Furbank will start at full-back for England in their Nations Championship opener against South Africa at Ellis Park, his first Test appearance since late 2024. The selection throws the 28-year-old into the cauldron of the Highveld, where altitude and the world champion Springboks await. Borthwick's back three pairs Furbank with wings Cadan Murley and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, both known for their attacking verve.
