Jones names English training squad
By Peteso Cannon
Eddie Jones has opted to leave out four Lions from his three-day training camp commencing Sunday the 24th of September in Oxford.
The four high-profile omissions are Jame Haskell, George Kruis, Kyle Sinckler and Jonathan Joseph.
There were two uncapped players named in the 33-man squad, Bath Hooker Tom Dunn and the 18-year old Harlequins sensation Marcus Smith.
“This camp in Oxford is a really positive opportunity for the group to come back together and sharpen our focus and preparation ahead of our first match against Argentina. This is our most important game this year and we want the players to come away from camp having trained well with a clear plan of how we want to play and win against the Pumas," said Jones.

Wales were lucky the Boks should put 60 points past them
Go to commentsI'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
