England have fortified their lineup with Tom Roebuck for the upcoming Nations Championship fixture against Fiji, following George Furbank's withdrawal due to appendicitis. The match will be held at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool on Saturday.

Furbank was originally set to play in the recent 45-21 loss to South Africa but had to pull out after being rushed to a hospital in Johannesburg. His absence left a gap filled by Marcus Smith.

With England on a five-test losing streak, coach Steve Borthwick is facing mounting pressure. The team will soon head to Argentina, where they will participate in the third fixture of this year’s inaugural Nations Championship on July 18.
