Borthwick's plan for three No 10s to keep title bid alive

Borthwick has selected Fin Smith and Marcus Smith as well as George Ford in his matchday squad for the first time and revealed deploying all three in harness is a possibility as England seek to keep their championship hopes alive on "Super Saturday".

The head coach has made four personnel and three positional changes to his starting XV, with Marcus Smith recalled at full-back and Ford on the bench. Fin Smith makes his fourth consecutive start at fly-half but is also seen by Borthwick as an inside-centre option. With Ford in line for a 99th cap and his first appearance of the 2025 championship, all three fly-halves are poised to feature against Wales.
