Ford hasn’t played for more than a month because of a quad injury.

George Ford, fit again after a quad injury, is also on the bench, but there is no place for Sam Underhill, who started both England's June defeats in New Zealand, in the matchday squad.

Meanwhile, Sale fly-half George Ford is nearing a return to full training after a quad injury and remains in contention for next weekend.

Reiterating how shocked he was at such an unusual occurrence, he added: "I’d say we might have a set of twins a month, twins do happen. But quads? Never."

His neighbors ride horses on the land; he prefers to traverse it on wheels — by dirt bike, quad or go-kart.
