Toulon have announced the signing of England internationals Kyle Sinckler and Lewis Ludlam ahead of the 2024/25 season on a three-year contract.

England and Northampton back-row Lewis Ludlam is set to become the latest player to join Top 14 next season according to a report.

In England’s live press conference broadcast on YouTube, Steve Borthwick described his captain for this weekend’s clash with France as a “fantastic leader”, while Lewis Ludlam called his international teammate “brilliant”.

With France coming this Saturday in the Guinness Six Nations, TRU’s Joe Harvey has taken a look at England’s back-row and why Steve Borthwick should stick with the combination of Lewis Ludlam, Jack Willis and Alex Dombrandt with just six games before the Rugby World Cup.

Following England’s 23-29 loss to Scotland, back-row Lewis Ludlam says that he and his international teammates are “heading in the right direction”.

After announcing his first England squad ahead of the team’s Guinness Six Nations opener against Scotland at Twickenham Stadium, Steve Borthwick once again appeared calm and collected.

Prior to England announcing their first matchday 23 to take on Scotland in the opening round of the 2023 Guinness Six Nations, TRU’s Joe Harvey has predicted who Steve Borthwick will name in his starting XV.

As England’s preparations for their Guinness Six Nations opener against Scotland in the Calcutta Cup get into full swing, England flanker Lewis Ludlam says there is “no wrong question” to ask the new England coaching group.

England coach Eddie Jones has recalled Joe Launchbury in the squad ahead of the second round of the Six Nations clash against Italy on Sunday.

Being handed the role as the Saints’ new club captain will fill Ludlam with immense pride, but he is keen for his boyhood club to challenge for honours again.
