Jamie George has returned to England's squad for the Six Nations after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in January. Previously, he was replaced as captain by Maro Itoje and excluded from the initial squad. Following a 27-22 defeat to Ireland in their first game, England faces France, who currently lead the tournament after a strong win against Wales. George's inclusion marks the only change in coach Steve Borthwick’s lineup, as they prepare for a challenging match at Allianz Stadium.
