George Ford will start at fly-half against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday following the news captain Owen Farrell could yet be banned.
"In my original planning for the Summer Nations Series and as part of our Rugby World Cup preparation, Owen Farrell was due to be selected to play in this Saturday's Test match in Dublin," Borthwick said.
"Owen understands the situation, but is of course disappointed, as I am, that he is missing such a special game that he would otherwise have played in." The back row remains unchanged from the win over Wales with man of the match Ben Earl retaining his spot at open-side flanker.
