Scotland scrum-half Ben White played for England Under-20s and is one of several dual-qualified players on either team

Packing down together in the Sale front row, Bevan Rodd and Ewan Ashman used to be on the same team.

On Saturday, at Murrayfield, they could still have been.

In April 2021, then-England coach Eddie Jones dispatched forwards coach Matt Proudfoot to Sale's training ground to talk to both players, as then uncapped, about their international ambitions.

Ashman - who started Scotland's opening Six Nations game in Rome but who misses the Calcutta Cup through injury - was born in Canada and raised in Manchester, but his father is from Edinburgh.
