England have added Bath centre Max Ojomoh to a 33‑man squad for the uncapped France XV game in Vannes on Friday. Ojomoh could line up opposite fellow midfielder Benhard Janse van Rensburg, while veteran centre Ollie Lawrence remains omitted despite his central contract and a New Zealand win earlier this year.

The selection reflects Borthwick’s intent to test depth ahead of the summer Tests. Janse van Rensburg, eligible for England after completing a five‑year residency, will feature alongside Ojomoh and Gloucester’s Seb Atkinson in the centre. The back‑line offers Saracens teenager Noah Caluori, the Premiership’s leading try‑scorer, and Leicester’s Adam Radwan and Tom Roebuck as wing options.

France field a side lacking Toulouse and Racing 92 players, but include Bordeaux‑Begles centre Nicolas Depoortere and prolific winger Theo Attisogbe. With several clubs holding out for the Premiership final, England can experiment with Leicester’s George Martin and Ollie Chessum in the second row, a pairing that could influence Borthwick’s decision on skipper Maro Itoje for the upcoming Tests.
