England name 36-man squad for Autumn Nations Series

Eddie Jones has named the England squad who will continue their preparations for their four home Autumn Nations Series matches.

 
The 36-player squad will meet on Monday for a five-day training camp in Jersey.  They will then return to the Honda England Rugby Performance Centre at Pennyhill Park, Bagshot ahead of their first game against Argentina (Sunday 6 November, 2.15pm KO).

 
There is a first call-up for Harlequins’ Cadan Murley, with the wing having previously represented England at U18 and U20s level.  Elsewhere Max Malins, Raffi Quirke, Val Rapava Ruskin and Kyle Sinckler return to the squad.

 
Owen Farrell (97) and Courtney Lawes (96) could both reach a century of caps for England during the Autumn Nations Series.

 
After their Argentina opener, England will then host Japan on Saturday 12 November (3.15pm KO) – the fixtures mirror England’s opening two games at next year’s Rugby World Cup.

 
They will then take on New Zealand on Saturday 19 November (5.30pm KO) and lastly world champions South Africa on Saturday 26 November (5.30pm KO).
