Feyi-Waboso returns from a suspension picked up playing for an England XV against France XV last month, which ruled him out of the back-to-back wins over Argentina in the first two matches on tour. It was his first game since December after injury had curtailed the second half of the season and denied him a potential call-up by the British & Irish Lions. England are without a host of regular players who are in Australia with the Lions, meaning Borthwick has cast his selection net wide. Fullback Joe Carpenter, centre Max Ojomoh and lock Arthur Clark all make their international debuts in the starting XV, while hooker Gabriel Oghre, flyhalf Charlie Atkinson and centre Oscar Beard are set to earn a first cap off the bench. "There's been a great spirit in the squad throughout this tour," Borthwick said. "The players have worked hard for each other and pushed standards every day. Those selected this weekend have earned their chance through their effort and attitude. "We aim to keep building the squad, learn from every experience, and deliver a performance that our supporters can be proud of." Cadan Murley takes his place on the wing and Luke Northmore keeps his spot in the centres to partner Ojomoh. Captain George Ford has a new half-back partner in Jack van Poortvliet, who scored a dramatic late winning try in the 22-17 victory over Argentina last Saturday. Ford's 101 caps is more than the entire rest of the starting XV put together (96). Curtis Langdon is the hooker, with props Bevan Rodd and Asher Opoku-Fordjour either side of him, while the second row is made up of Alex Coles and Clark. Alex Dombrandt is at number eight, with flanker Chandler Cunningham-South and Guy Pepper making up the back row. It is just the second time England will play the United States on American soil, having last toured the country in 2001. They have won all seven previous meetings with their hosts. England team: 15–Joe Carpenter, 14–Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, 13–Luke Northmore, 12–Max Ojomoh, 11–Cadan Murley, 10–George Ford (captain), 9–Jack van Poortvliet, 8–Alex Dombrandt, 7–Guy Pepper, 6–Chandler Cunningham-South, 5–Arthur Clark, 4–Alex Coles, 3–Asher Opoku-Fordjour, 2–Curtis Langdon, 1–Bevan Rodd Replacements: 16–Gabriel Oghre, 17–Fin Baxter, 18–Trevor Davison, 19–Ted Hill, 20–Ben Curry, 21–Harry Randall, 22–Charlie Atkinson, 23–Oscar Beard.

England pick banned player for tour of Argentina and US
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been included in England's 36-man summer tour squad, despite being suspended for the first two matches. Hooker Jamie George and five-eighth George Ford will co-captain the group, which contains 10 uncapped players, for two Tests against Argentina and one against the United States. Exeter wing Feyi-Waboso was sent off for a high tackle on Antoine Hastoy in the first half of Saturday's 26-24 loss to a France XV on his first appearance since suffering a dislocated shoulder in December. Due to his ban, the 22-year-old will been unavailable for the matches against Los Pumas on July 5 and 12 in La Plata and San Juan respectively. Subject to completing a tackle course, Feyi-Waboso, who has scored five tries in eight international caps, will return to contention for the clash with the US on July 19 in Washington DC. Joe Carpenter, Seb Atkinson, Guy Pepper and Oscar Beard, who were involved in the non-capped contest with France, are joined in the squad by fellow potential Test debutants Charlie Atkinson, Arthur Clark, Emmanuel Iyogun, Will Muir, Luke Northmore and Max Ojomoh. "For some of the younger players, this will be their first experience of touring overseas with England. Travelling together helps strengthen team bonds and offers a valuable chance for new players to integrate into our environment," said head coach Steve Borthwick.

England winger Feyi-Waboso suspended from 2-test series in Argentina
DUBLIN (AP) — England will debate the worth of taking Immanuel Feyi-Waboso on its Americas tour next month after the winger received a two-match suspension on Sunday. Feyi-Waboso was sent off during the England XV's 26-24 loss to a France XV on Saturday at Twickenham. He caught Antoine Hastoy in the head with a swinging right arm in an attempted first-half tackle. His yellow card was upgraded on review to a 20-minute red card. A World Rugby disciplinary hearing confirmed it was a dangerous tackle and suspended Feyi-Waboso for both of England's tests in Argentina on July 5 and 12. He will be available for the test against the United States on July 19 in Washington, D.C., if he completes World Rugby's tackle school. Saturday's game was Feyi-Waboso's first action since December, when he dislocated his shoulder. He missed the Six Nations and a possible place in the British and Irish Lions squad. England is set to name its touring squad on Monday. ___
