How Steve Borthwick will stamp his own mark on England line-up

Steve Borthwick is preparing his first squad announcement as England head coach. Dan Cole is set to win his 96th cap against Scotland on February 4th.

Ben Earl's return to the shake-up suggests a desire for speed. Back-three talent like Anthony Watson, Ollie Hassell-Collins, Cadan Murley and Harry Potter are also in contention.
