England centre Joe Marchant is back in contention for international selection after signing for Sale Sharks in the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old, who previously played for Harlequins, becomes available for England again following his move to the Premiership club.

Marchant has earned 19 caps for England since his debut in 2019 and was part of the squad that reached the 2023 Rugby World Cup semi-finals. His return to the domestic league after a stint abroad restores his eligibility under England's selection policy.
