In Australia, Elliot Daly is making his England comeback after recovering from a serious injury which kept him sidelined since the British and Irish Lions tour in July 2025. Head coach Steve Borthwick has expressed confidence in Daly's abilities, considering him vital for the team's preparations leading up to the 2027 Rugby World Cup. Daly's return to the starting lineup comes as the versatile back replaces the injured Tom Roebuck in the match against Argentina, which is crucial for England as they aim for their 11th consecutive victory. Daly, aged 33, has dealt with challenges in the past, including a fractured forearm that required surgery, as well as a disappointing red card in his previous encounter with Argentina back in 2016. However, his experience on the international stage, having gained 73 caps, makes him a central figure in the team's strategy. Borthwick recognizes the high rugby intelligence and skill Daly brings to the pitch, particularly in key moments when leadership and calmness are essential. The England coach also referred to how Daly's recent injury layoff could paradoxically extend his rugby career, allowing him to recharge physically and mentally. Borthwick has built a squad that contains a mixture of young talent and experienced players. Daly’s role will be especially important for these younger athletes who look up to him for guidance. Borthwick emphasized that seasoned players like Daly are invaluable, particularly during challenging moments in matches. Daly's previous experiences, including participation in multiple World Cups and successes in various competitive series, lend credibility to his leadership on the field. Supported by other veterans in the lineup, England is poised to finish their 2025 season strongly with their ongoing winning streak.
