July 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Former captain Steve Borthwick, who led England in the last Six Nations championship, has been left out of the 32-man elite squad for next season announced by national team manager Martin Johnson on Thursday. The 30-year-old Saracens lock captained the side in 20 Tests over two years until injury forced him to hand over to Lewis Moody for the final Six Nations game against France and the subsequent summer tour down under.

The uncapped Gloucester lock Dave Attwood takes Borthwick's place alongside the other three locks - Tom Palmer, Courtney Lawes and the evergreen 36-year-old Simon Shaw. "Leaving Steve Borthwick out was a very hard decision," said Johnson. "He's done a fantastic job for England over the last couple of years and it's the most difficult call we've had to make. "It is very tough on Steve but it goes to show the depth of talent we've got in that area. "We want to build on what we've done this summer and a southern hemisphere tour that was hugely beneficial and a really positive experience for the group. "We were able to give lots of opportunities to players and expose them to a high level of rugby." Leicester scrum-half Ben Youngs and prop Dan Cole have been officially included among the elite after establishing themselves in the Test team during the tour of Australia and New Zealand. Wasps' uncapped centre Dominic Waldouck has also been included at the expense of Tait along with Leeds' South-African born flanker Hendre Fourie and Gloucester prop Paul Doran-Jones.
