Rokoduguni replaces injured Daly in England squad
By Tom Webber
Semesa Rokoduguni has been called up to the England squad to face Argentina as a replacement for the injured Elliot Daly.
Wasps winger Daly sustained a knee problem early in the second half of Saturday's 38-22 Premiership victory over Northampton Saints.
Consequently, the 25-year-old and Wasps team-mate Matt Mullan (elbow) did not travel to a training camp in Portugal with the rest of Eddie Jones' squad.
Daly's spot has now been taken by Rokoduguni, who scored two tries as Bath fell to a dramatic 22-21 loss against Gloucester on Sunday.
In his only previous appearance under Jones, the 30-year-old ran in a double in a 58-15 demolition of Fiji.
However, that match could leave England with another loss after Charlie Ewels was charged with making a dangerous tackle on Henry Trinder.
The lock will appear before an independent disciplinary panel on Wednesday and faces a minimum suspension of two weeks if found guilty.
England face Argentina at Twickenham on November 11, with matches against Australia and Samoa on the following Saturdays.

This is might be the most generalised, entitled, patronising, out-of-pocket cultural indictment on a group of people you’ll ever see on what is supposedly a sports publication. I can only assume the author is weak like a woman or homosexual. I’m feeling an incredible range of emotions but I am not quite sure how to express them. I might go beat up a hockey player - assuming that’s okay with Duane and the boys? 🙂
