Lions trio Ellis Genge, Tommy Freeman and Henry Pollock on rugby's new rebel R360 competition - and what impact lucrative league can have on their future England careers
England and Lions star Ellis Genge has admitted the country's top players will have a big decision to make on their contractual futures if the money on offer from rugby's proposed breakaway league proves too good to turn down in years to come. But Genge and his fellow Test stars Tommy Freeman and Henry Pollock have insisted that representing Steve Borthwick 's national side remains the primary driver when it comes to their ambitions. The new rebel R360 competition - being led by ex-England World Cup winner Mike Tindall - wants to create 'generational change in rugby' by creating 12 new franchise teams made up of the best players from around the world. While plans for the new concept would retain the importance and prestige of the international game and organisers are understood to have left gaps for existing club structures to continue, it is clear R360 could prove to be a potential game changer and significantly shake-up the established order. 'I'd never want to leave England behind, but I would say 90 per cent of rugby players have to work for the rest of their lives after rugby,' said Genge. 'If they reached the echelons they have in this sport in others, I'd say they probably wouldn't. I think if the money is that lucrative, then people have decisions to make don't they? I wouldn't hold it against them.' Genge revealed he had discussed the R360 proposal with the competition's organisers but had not signed any agreement to join given he is under contract with his club Bristol. 'I don't know if it's actually got legs to get off the ground, but I think anything that stirs the pot and makes people start asking questions and think of new ideas is positive for the game,' Genge said of R360, which would involve a 16-match season that would be played in two separate windows in spring and summer. 'There is no smoke without fire. I'm glad something is happening in rugby rather than it just stagnating and everyone moaning. 'But I'm sure now people want to put money into it, everyone will moan.' MailSport understands leading figures at both the Rugby Football Union and Premiership Rugby are relaxed about R360's plans to disrupt the game, while welcoming the competition Tindall's enterprise looks likely to provide. In September last year, the two parties signed the professional game partnership - the system by which English rugby is now run. As part of the deal - which runs for the next eight years - it is stipulated that to continue to represent England in that time, players must be primarily employed by Premiership clubs. 'At some point, money probably does talk but playing for England is my main concern. You never want to jeopardise that situation,' said Northampton wing Freeman. 'If I'm out the loop of the England set-up for a number of years, then maybe it's different.' Freeman confirmed the money on offer from R360 for him to stop playing for England would have to be 'off the charts.' He added: 'Running out at Twickenham, there is no feeling like it.' Genge, Freeman and Pollock will all be part of Andy Farrell's Lions squad in Australia this summer and were winners at Tuesday night's Premiership awards evening. 'We're very focussed on playing for our country,' breakthrough player of the season Pollock said. 'As Tommy said, it would be a lot to give that up. 'I've not experienced playing multiple times for my country, so that's something I'm working towards.' Genge is set to return for Bristol for their crunch Premiership play-off clash at Bath on Friday after missing last weekend's win over Harlequins. Another England man in Tom Curry will also be fit for Sale who face Leicester in the other semi-final on Saturday.

Durham seamer Brydon Carse, as well as Warwickshire's Jacob Bethell and Chris Woakes, were recalled after featuring in England's Test tour of New Zealand in December. Surrey's Gus Atkinson was ruled out of selection due to a hamstring injury sustained during the one-off Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge last month. England will play five Test matches against India over the next couple of months, finishing on August 4 at the Kia Oval in London.

Bethell and Overton in England first Test squad
England have recalled Jacob Bethell for the first Test against India and responded to a lengthy pace-bowling injury list by naming Jamie Overton in the 21, makes an immediate return after not featuring in the victory over Zimbabwe because of Indian Premier League (IPL) commitments, but could miss out on a place in the final bowler Gus Atkinson is likely to be absent for the first two Tests of the five-match series with the hamstring injury he suffered against Zimbabwe, and joins Mark Wood, Jofra Archer and Olly Stone on the Woakes and Brydon Carse are back, while Surrey's Overton is in a Test squad for the first time since the tour of Pakistan in Tongue and Sam Cook are also in, but there is no place for Matthew Potts in the group of five frontline seamers for the series opener at Headingley on 20 June. ——————————————————— England squad for first Test against India: Ben Stokes (captain), Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir. ——————————————————— Overton's only previous Test came at the same ground in 2022, when he made 97 against New Zealand. The 31-year-old is currently recovering from a broken little finger sustained in the first one-day international against West Indies last Carse and Tongue are the most likely trio to make the XI in Leeds. Despite the absentees, all three would have reasonable claims to be in England's first-choice team even if all the seamers were fast-bowling reserves have been further depleted by injuries to youngsters Josh Hull and Sonny Baker, who have heel and ankle problems respectively. Both have pulled out of England Lions' second four-day game against India A, due to start on and Tongue will feature for the Lions, but Test captain Ben Stokes, who considered playing as he recovers from hamstring surgery, has opted out. England were hopeful Atkinson would be available for the beginning of the India series, while Archer's long route back to Test cricket has been delayed by a thumb injury that prevented him playing for the Lions. His next target would be to play for Sussex in the County Championship before the end of this Bethell impressed in three Tests in New Zealand before Christmas, making half-centuries in the second innings of each, batting at number he missed the Test against Zimbabwe, England were spared the decision on whether to include him in their team and reverted back to their established top seven. In Bethell's absence, Ollie Pope made a sublime century in his regular spot of number Stokes appeared to suggest before the Zimbabwe Test Bethell would come straight back into the XI for the India series, he later clarified that the left-hander would merely return to the squad. Stokes also claimed his comments were "twisted to suit an agenda".Since then, Bethell has further impressed in England's one-day team, making a sparkling 82 in the first ODI against West at least seemed to confirm that England's choice would be between Bethell and Pope, rather than opener Zak Crawley or spinner Shoaib Bashir being candidates to be left out.
