Steve Borthwick has named his England side to face a France XV on Friday evening, with a number of fringe players given the opportunity to shine.
Without their Gallagher Prem finalists for this fixture, England have been given the opportunity to experiment in this warm up fixture ahead of the Nations Championship.
Borthwick has embraced this with open arms, mixing his squad with established international experience and youth.
Marcus Smith - one of the more experienced players in this team - takes up the full back position, in a back three which includes Harlequins flyer Cadan Murley and wonderkid Noah Caluori.
Max Ojomoh partners Seb Atkinson in midfield, with Harry Randall named at scrum half, partnering 100-cap fly half George Ford at half back, who captains the side.
Asher Opoku-Fordjour is selected at loosehead prop, being joined by Theo Dan and Bristol's George Kloska in a new-look front row.
George Martin returns to the England side for the first time since sustaining an injury in the 2025 Six Nations, partnered in the second row by the experienced Charlie Ewels.
Borthwick names an extremely strong back row for the trip to Vannes, with Ted Hill featuring alongside Tom Curry and Alex Dombrandt.
The bench is full of inexperienced talent, with Jamie Blamire, Beno Obano and Vilikesa Sela the front row replacements, alongside Nick Isiekwe and Jack Kenningham who complete the forwards.
Future Newcastle man Raffi Quirke is the back-up nine, while Bernhard Janse van Rensburg - who has controversially changed allegiances to England ahead of the summer - is in line for his first England appearance.
After a sensational season for Leicester Tigers, Adam Radwan is named to feature for England, for the first time since Autumn 2021.
