The England men's national rugby team has announced a revised training squad for the inaugural Nations Championship, while the women's team continues its period of dominance following the Six Nations tournament.

英格蘭國家男子橄欖球隊已公佈首屆國家錦標賽的修訂訓練名單，而女子隊在六國錦標賽後繼續保持主導地位。

The men's squad, overseen by head coach Steve Borthwick, has integrated six uncapped players, most notably centre Benhard Janse van Rensburg. The inclusion of Janse van Rensburg follows a successful Rugby Football Union appeal to World Rugby, which determined that a brief 2016 appearance for the South African Under-20s did not permanently bind the player to that nation. Eligibility via a five-year residency period will be finalized on July 8, rendering the player unavailable for the July 4 fixture against South Africa, though potential participation remains for subsequent matches against Fiji and Argentina. This selection has precipitated the omission of Bath players Ollie Lawrence, Max Ojomoh, and Henry Arundell. Former player Danny Care has publicly questioned the ethics of prioritizing a residency-qualified player over domestic talent. Additionally, the squad features the return of lock George Martin following a fifteen-month injury hiatus and the inclusion of youth prospects such as Noah Caluori and Kepu Tuipulotu. Due to an extensive travel itinerary spanning three continents, the administration is considering a rotation strategy to manage senior player fatigue.

由總教練 Steve Borthwick 領導的男子隊納入了六名未有出賽經驗的球員，其中最受關注的是中鋒 Benhard Janse van Rensburg。Janse van Rensburg 之所以入選，是因為英格蘭橄欖球總會向世界橄欖球理事會申訴成功，後者判定其 2016 年短暫代表南非 U20 出賽並不代表該球員永久綁定於該國。透過五年居留期獲得的參賽資格將於 7 月 8 日正式生效，因此該球員無法參加 7 月 4 日對陣南非的比賽，但後續對陣斐濟與阿根廷的比賽仍有參與可能。此次選拔導致 Bath 球隊的 Ollie Lawrence, Max Ojomoh 及 Henry Arundell 被排除在名單之外。前球員 Danny Care 公開質疑優先選擇符合居留資格球員而非本土人才的倫理問題。此外，鎖定鋒 George Martin 在經歷十五個月的傷停後回歸，隊伍中也納入了 Noah Caluori 和 Kepu Tuipulotu 等年輕潛力球員。

Parallel to these developments, the England women's team has secured its eighth consecutive Six Nations title. Head coach John Mitchell managed significant squad volatility caused by a high volume of injuries and retirements, necessitating the utilization of depth players such as Liz Crake. Despite these disruptions, the team maintained its winning streak, which now extends to 38 matches. This period of dominance coincides with a broader institutional growth in the women's game, evidenced by record-breaking attendances at venues including the Aviva Stadium, where Ireland's match against Scotland drew 31,294 spectators. The Irish side, under coach Bemand, has demonstrated quantitative improvement, increasing its points difference from plus five to plus 67 over the previous cycle and securing a third-place finish.

與此同時，英格蘭女子隊已連續第八次奪得六國錦標賽冠軍。總教練 John Mitchell 處理了由大量傷病與退休導致的陣容劇烈波動，因此必須啟用如 Liz Crake 等後備球員。儘管面臨這些干擾，球隊仍維持連勝紀錄，目前已連續獲勝 38 場。這一主導時期與女子橄欖球更廣泛的體制成長相契合，這可從 Aviva Stadium 等場地打破紀錄的入場人數看出，其中愛爾蘭對陣蘇格蘭的比賽吸引了 31,294 名觀眾。在教練 Bemand 的率領下，愛爾蘭隊展現出量化上的進步，淨勝分從上個週期的 +5 增加至 +67，並獲得第三名。

England's men's team is currently transitioning its roster for the summer championship, while the women's team remains the primary favorite for the 2029 World Cup.

英格蘭男子隊目前正為夏季錦標賽調整陣容，而女子隊仍是 2029 年世界盃的首選奪冠熱門。
