England head coach Eddie Jones has been handed a triple injury boost for tour of Australia with the news that trio Luke Cowan-Dickie, Jack Nowell and Jonny Hill are all set to return from injury.

Cowan-Dickie suffered a knee injury during the Six Nations while wing Nowell broke his arm in the last game of the Championship against France. Hill missed England’s underwhelming Six Nations with a lower leg problem.

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter gave an injury update: "Luke and Jack should be in contention (for the tour).

"Jack is actually in contention to feature this week. Luke isn’t but as far as the tour goes they should both be in contention as will Jonny."

Meanwhile, Henry Slade will not be joining his teammates to Australia after undergoing shoulder surgery.
