Van Poortvliet to train with British and Irish Lions ahead of Argentina clash

Leicester Tigers and England scrum-half Jack van Poortvliet will fly into Dublin to train with the Lions on Tuesday as they prepare for the 1888 Cup fixture against Argentina.

Van Poortvliet will join as cover ahead of the Lions game on Friday.

On Monday, van Poortvliet was named in Steve Borthwick’s 36-player training squad ahead of England’s match against a France XV on Saturday.

The 24-year-old made his England debut against Australia in Perth in 2022 and has since won 15 caps for his country.
