Ford started at fly-half throughout this year’s Six Nations.
George Ford has been ruled out of England’s summer tour to Japan and New Zealand because of an Achilles injury.
“Naturally we’re disappointed that George won’t be with us in Japan and New Zealand,” head coach Steve Borthwick said.“Following specialist medical advice, and in consultation with George himself, we have decided this is the best course of action. Ford, who missed seven months of the 2022-23 season with an Achilles injury, was part of England’s training camp last week but Borthwick must now plan to take on the Brave Blossoms and All Blacks without two of his World Cup fly-halves following Owen Farrell’s decision to join Racing 92.It leaves Northampton’s Premiership-winning ringmaster Fin Smith and Marcus Smith of Harlequins in a shootout for the number 10 jersey, with rookie Charlie Atkinson most likely to tour as the third playmaker.
