Two players withdrawn from England squad as Jones makes one new addition to roster
By Online Editors
Two players have been sent back to their clubs to recover from injury as the England squad reconvene at their training base as they prepare for the start of the Autumn Nations Cup. Eddie Jones’ side have returned to The Lensbury, Teddington, after winning the Guinness Six Nations last weekend with a 34-5 win over Italy.
A 36-player squad will begin training this week for their opening Quilter International against Georgia at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 14 November.
They will then play a second Quilter International at home against Ireland on Saturday 21 November (3pm KO). England will play their final group game in Llanelli, against hosts Wales, at Parc y Scarlets on Saturday 28 November (4pm KO). Their final Quilter International, a tournament placing game, will be played at Twickenham Stadium on Sunday 6 December (2pm KO).
Elliot Daly and Joe Marler return after injuries, while Alex Mitchell has also joined up with the squad after taking part in some of England’s training camps in October.
Jack Singleton (hamstring) and Anthony Watson (ankle) have withdrawn from the squad for the Georgia fixture through injury and will begin rehabilitation with their clubs.
George Ford and Mark Wilson will continue their rehabilitation programmes in camp at The Lensbury.
Billy Vunipola will join up with the squad on Sunday after the birth of his son earlier this week.
Newly-appointed skills coach, Jason Ryles, has joined up with the team after finishing the season and winning the NRL Grand Final with Melbourne Storm, where he was assistant coach.
All Autumn Nations Cup games will be live on Amazon Prime.

I think you're misunderstanding the fundamentals of how negotiations work, thinking the buyer has all the power. To look at just one rule of negotiation, the party with options has an advantage. I.e. if you are an international 10 with a huge personal brand, you have no shortage of high-paying job opportunities. Counter that to NZR who are not exactly flush with 10s, BB has a lot of leverage in this negotiation. That is just one example; there are other negotiation rules giving BB power, but I won't list them all. Negotiation is a two-way street, and NZR certainly don't hold all the cards.
