Courtney Lawes has his first opportunity to represent England in the 2023 Six nations if he is picked by Steve Borthwick this weekend
Courtney Lawes, Tom Curry, and George Ford have been named in Steve Borthwick’s 36-man squad for England’s Six Nations fixture with Wales on Saturday.
Vice-captain Lawes has yet to feature in England’s campaign due to a calf injury sustained in Northampton’s 31-13 defeat to La Rochelle in the Heineken Champions Cup in January.
Lawes has been receiving treatment in camp in the hope of facing Wales, last donning the England jersey when he was captain during the July tour to Australia.

Curry, also on a return from injury, comes into the squad in place of his brother Ben, with Ford’s return from an Achilles injury meaning Fin Smith is out of this week’s squad.
Uncapped duo Fraser Dingwall and Cadan Murley are also named in the squad, while Ollie Hassell-Collins was unavailable for selection due to a knee issue.
