Steve Borthwick backs ‘incredible' Henry Pollock for Lions Test role
Steve Borthwick has tipped Henry Pollock to feature in the Test series for the British & Irish Lions, two months after he handed the young flanker his England debut.
Pollock, 20, is the youngest player touring Australia this summer at the end of a breakout season. Since moving up from England Under-20 to the seniors during the Six Nations, scoring two tries in a 32-minute cameo against Wales, Pollock's form for Northampton Saints en route to Saturday's Investec Champions Cup final thrust him to the forefront of Lions head coach Andy Farrell's plans.
'I think nobody would bet against that,' Borthwick, the England head coach, said about the prospect of Pollock featuring in the Lions Tests.

'He deserves it' - Taylor on Beckham knighthood
On the day news broke David Beckham is set to be awarded a knighthood, the man who first gave him the England captain's armband says he "thoroughly deserves it".Peter Taylor, now manager of Essex non-league outfit Canvey Island, only had one game as caretaker boss of the Three Lions in his influence was an enduring one because of his decision to name Beckham - who won 59 caps as captain and 115 in total - as skipper for that friendly against on the midfielder's expected inclusion in the King's Birthday Honours List, Taylor told BBC Essex: "I'm delighted for David."He thoroughly deserves it because he is always committed to things he does. He takes responsibility seriously. Good luck to him."Ex-Leicester, Hull and Crystal Palace boss Taylor, however, currently has slightly less exalted matters on his two years away from the dugout - in a coaching career that began at Dartford in 1986 and has taken him to places as far flung as India and New Zealand - the 72-year-old has returned to management at seventh-tier Canvey turned out for Canvey at the very start of a playing career that took him to Southend, Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur and brought him four England caps as a fast-raiding winger - and he needed little persuading to added: "I've had a lovely career, definitely lots of ups and downs, highs and lows, but I still enjoy football."When, all of a sudden, I got a phone call from Canvey to say 'would you like to come and manage the team, are you interested?', I said yes mainly because I love being on the training pitch - that's why I agreed to come back." Taylor, though, is well aware he faces the prospect of having to build a new squad for next season almost from scratch."The priority was to find out who wanted to stay here - there were 18 players on the books and I phoned them all, found out who wants to stay, who doesn't," he added."I'm looking to bring in about 12, 13 players because the majority have not stayed. The ones that are leaving will be more experienced than the ones coming in - in that respect it's going to be a test."Taylor had previously been scouting for Dagenham & Redbridge after his last management job at Maldon & Tiptree ended in the sack in was appointed last month, replacing Brad Wellman, who left after the Islanders finished 17th in Isthmian League Premier Division, having been in charge for four years."It's going to be a hard challenge because there's some bigger budgets and some bigger teams in the division this year but it's a test I'm looking forward to," Taylor added."My target is to create a really good changing room. If we enter that field and run around more than the opposition, that's the basics I'm looking for to start off with. "It's difficult for me to judge where we're going to end up but the most important thing is to get the team as organised as we possibly can."I'll be looking at a new bunch of players at the end of June, when we start - we've got eight pre-season matches and we need those matches because this is (going to be) such a new bunch, we need them to get playing together."

Dubois beating Usyk would be 'no surprise at all'
Former world champion Barry McGuigan says he would not be "at all surprised" if big-hitting Daniel Dubois beats Oleksandr Usyk in this summer's undisputed heavyweight title fight. Briton Dubois, the IBF belt holder, and WBA, WBO and WBC champion Usyk will meet for the second time on 19 July at Wembley Stadium after Usyk's ninth-round stoppage victory in August 2023. And while McGuigan - whose son Shane formerly trained Dubois - is still backing the undefeated Ukrainian to win, he expects the 27-year-old Londoner to provide a much sterner test than he did in their first bout in Poland. "Dubois can knock the house down, he hits so hard," former featherweight champion McGuigan told BBC Sport NI's Thomas Niblock. "Shane, my son, got him across the line. We went out to Miami, he knocked out Trevor Bryan Jr to win the WBA regular title (in 2022). "He is a big, strong, powerful heavyweight. A modern-day heavyweight, 18-and-a-half stone, 6ft 4ins, built like the proverbial out-house. A massive guy and could knock the wall down with a right hand or a left hook." McGuigan, who has helped mentor Dubois' sister Caroline Dubois, acknowledged the "significant" power difference between former cruiserweight Usyk and the British fighter, who weighed in at almost 18 stone for his stunning knockout victory over Anthony Joshua last September. However, the 64-year-old Irishman feels 38-year-old Usyk is "too clever" to allow Dubois a clean shot. "When the big guys hit you, you stay hit. I think Usyk, with the experience he's had, has got better. "It's a more difficult fight because Usyk has got older and Dubois is still very young. For me, they've gotten closer so the fight will be closer. If Usyk gets hit clean by Dubois, the fight is over, but he'll not get hit like that, he's too clever. "Dubois will want to work on his body, put him under pressure. That whole friction is going to be very exciting."McGuigan added: "I think Usyk will win this time, I'm not sure if he'll stop him, but it could be a wide points decision." McGuigan was speaking in an interview to mark the 40th anniversary of his famous world-title triumph over mighty Panamanian fighter Eusebio the Irishman prevailed at Loftus Road on 8 June 1985, it was watched by a UK television audience of 19 million people. Now the sport is dominated by pay-per-view bouts, with increasing influence from figures such as Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's general entertainment authority, funded by Saudi's Public Investment Fund, which is reported to have spent more than £5bn on sport."He wants to make it [Saudi Arabia] the centre of big sporting events and fair dues to him, the fighters are getting paid much better as a result of that, the coming together of Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, so that's a good thing for the game," observed McGuigan. "It's good that there's more money involved for the fighters, it's a dangerous and serious business so it's good that they're making better money than they did in the past. "What it does is it takes down the barrier of these guys wanting to fight each other. If he pays him enough they'll say 'yes, I'm in' so we get WBA champions fighting WBC champions and IBF champions fighting WBO champions."
