Steve Borthwick’s side have picked up two victories over Australia and Fiji so far, and are looking to extend a winning run that stretches back to the Six Nations earlier this year.

Barrett’s two brothers, fly-half Beauden and lock Scott, are both set to feature against Borthwick’s side.

The youngest of the three brothers recently spent part of the 2024/25 season on a sabbatical break with Irish side Leinster.
