21 uncapped players included in England training squad

Eddie Jones has named a 34-player training squad as England begin preparations for their summer series.

The squad will meet up at The Lensbury on Monday 14 June for a five-day training camp.

With 12 English players involved in the British & Irish Lions squad and the Premiership semi-finalists: Bristol Bears, Exeter Chiefs, Harlequins and Sale Sharks unavailable for selection, Jones has named 21 uncapped players.

An updated squad will reconvene on Sunday 20 June, ahead of the England A fixture against Scotland A at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, Leicester (Sunday 27 June, 2pm KO). Premiership finalists will not be available for selection for this squad.

Following the final, Jones will further update his squad for England’s two Test matches at Twickenham Stadium in July - USA on Sunday 4 July (2pm KO), and Canada on Saturday 10 July (3pm KO). All three fixtures will be shown live on Channel 4.


"This is the first squad of three and we’ll include players from the other clubs where appropriate, when they become available," said Jones. "We’ve also given some of our senior players the chance to get some important rest and recovery time after back-to-back seasons, and with no proper pre-season."

"For this group it’s a chance to come into the England environment and really show what they can do. We expect them to be enthusiastic, full of energy and we want them to know there is no limit to their horizon.


"There is a lot of talent in this squad but the challenge for them is to turn talent into performance. We’re really looking forward to working with this group of young players and see where we can take them. They have the opportunity to take on the world."
