Henry Slade is poised for a potential return to England's midfield for their upcoming clash against New Zealand, contingent on a successful comeback performance for Exeter this Sunday. The centre has been released early from the national squad's training camp in Spain to participate in the match against Harlequins, serving as preparation for the highly anticipated encounter with the All Blacks. Having undergone shoulder surgery following England's summer tour to Japan and New Zealand, Slade has yet to play a competitive match this season. However, his significance to the team's tactical strategy has prompted the England management to consider hastening his return to the lineup if he performs well.
