Eddie Jones has included four uncapped players and another 14 players with ten or less caps in his 34-man England squad for the Autumn Nations Series.
Nic Dolly and Tommy Freeman have both received their first call-ups, along with Mark Atkinson and Raffi Quirke who joined up with the squad last month for a short training camp.

Eight players who made their debuts in England’s summer series have also been selected, including British & Irish Lions tourist and Harlequins fly-half Marcus Smith.
Smith is joined in the new-look squad by Jamie Blamire, Callum Chick, Trevor Davison, Alex Dombrandt, Adam Radwan, Harry Randall and Freddie Steward.
In addition to all the new faces, Jones has also named Owen Farrell as his captain for the Autumn Nations Series while Saracens teammate Maro Itoje is in line to win his 50th cap.
Jones said: “This is a young but very good, talented squad who have all earned their places. It is one of the most competitive squads I have ever picked.
“There are a number of disappointed players who haven’t been selected, but they know what they need to do and no door is closed to any player.
“We’re looking forward to three tough Test matches. Tonga always play a strong, physical game and Australia and South Africa have had extended periods together and will be a good challenge for us.

“Our aim each week will be to get better and better as we work towards the Rugby World Cup in 2023.”
The squad will travel to Jersey on Monday 25 October for a five-day training camp before returning to England ahead of their trio of home fixtures against Tonga, Australia and South Africa.
England will first face Tonga on 6 November (3.15pm KO) before hosting Australia on 13 November (5.30pm KO) and world champions South Africa on 20 November (3.15pm KO).
