Henry Pollock named on bench as England face South Africa in Johannesburg

England has announced its lineup to face South Africa on July 4, with Henry Pollock set to start from the bench. Head coach Steve Borthwick has opted for Ollie Chessum as vice-captain while Tom Curry and Ben Earl join him in the back row. Pollock's role follows his recognition as player of the match in the Gallagher Prem final. England, on a four-match losing streak, aims to improve upon its previous Six Nations performance against the reigning world champions at Ellis Park. Jamie George will captain the squad in the absence of regular captain Maro Itoje, who is being rested this summer.
