The flying full-back’s best pal, Tom Roebuck, took his opportunity with both hands against Wales in the Six Nations, scoring an early try in the 68-14 demolition job at Principality Stadium. Carpenter’s fellow Sale Sharks stars Bevan Rodd, Asher Opoku-Fordjour and the Curry twins have also all shone in the white jersey and the 23-year-old hopes to cap another stellar domestic season with his first caps on this summer’s tour of Argentina and the USA. “It would mean everything,” he said.

The 22-year-old has not played since before Christmas and had shoulder surgery earlier this year but came through the first day of England’s training camp unscathed at Pennyhill Park before returning home to sit an upcoming medical exam. Borthwick was impressed by the winger’s condition, which is still being closely monitored as he nears his return and couldn’t hide his pleasure at seeing the 10-cap starlet training with the squad. “We are delighted to see him back on the grass,” he said.
