England XV to host France XV in uncapped match at Allianz Stadium in June

An England XV will host a France XV in an uncapped match at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 21 June.

The game will act as a warm-up for England’s three-Test summer tour of Argentina and the United States, while France are scheduled to play a three-match series in New Zealand.

Players involved in the English Premiership final on 14 June and those selected for the British and Irish Lions training squad will not be involved.

France will also be without players involved in their domestic Top 14 play-offs.

It follows an announcement last month by the French rugby union, which said it would not select players competing in the Top 14 final for the national team’s summer fixtures.

“This game presents an exciting opportunity to see some of the rising stars of the game in action,” said England head coach Steve Borthwick.

“It’s always an incredible occasion when England faces France, and we’re looking forward to creating a memorable experience for everyone involved.

“The match will be a valuable opportunity for the players to test their skills against a tough opponent and strengthen their chances for tour selection.”
