The 34-year-old was replaced by Saracens team-mate Maro Itoje in January .

George says he considered ending his England career because of the pain of losing captaincy.

"The whole journey has not been straightforward, but you sort of learn and you get your head down. I learnt pretty early on that I had to be resilient and toughen up a bit. I feel that I have done that well. "I am as ambitious now as I was when I was 25 and I first came into the team." George is poised to become the seventh male player to win 100 England caps after Ben Youngs ( 127 ), Dan Cole ( 118 ), Jason Leonard ( 114 ), Owen Farrell ( 112 ), Courtney Lawes ( 105 ) and Danny Care ( 101 )..
