Benhard Janse van Rensburg included in England training camp
Sky Sports James Cole brings the latest on Englands Nations Championship training squad, with Benhard Janse van Rensburg the notable inclusion.
www.skysports.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public reports.
- Benhard Janse van Rensburg has been prominent with Bristol Bears, with ongoing interest in England eligibility discussions following his performances in the Premiership. For example, reports in late 2025 highlighted his continued impact at Bristol and recognition on the season team lists. Additionally, video briefs from late 2025 and 2026 have highlighted his contract status and leadership role at the club.[1][2]
- In 2024–25, there were ongoing discussions around his potential switch of international allegiance and eligibility for England, driven by residency rules and RFU/world rugby processes.[4][8]
- As of May 17–18, 2026, there were reports indicating England training camp involvement or selection considerations for him in the Nations Championship context, suggesting he remains a topic of interest for national-team selectors.[7]
If you’d like, I can narrow to a specific source (e.g., official club announcements, RFU statements, or major rugby outlets) or pull the most up-to-date item from a single outlet. I can also summarize his career trajectory or provide a quick timeline of key events (join Bristol Bears, contract extensions, eligibility discussions, England camp rumors) with citations.
