5 players who've MISSED out on Eddie Jones England training squad

The Telegraph have revealed this morning that despite his body transformation and pick up in form, the Saracens number 8 will be one of the high-profile omissions from Jones squad. Vunipola, who has been a stalwart under the Aussie, failed to impress during the 2021 Six Nations as England slumped to a fifth place finish.

The Lions speedster is currently out injured after picking up a knock in pre-season. The Mail Online suggest he will be fit for the Autumn Nations Series next month.

Despite an impressive opening day performance for Leicester against Exeter Chiefs, the fly-half also missed out as first reported by the Telegraph. It’s the first time Ford has ever been left out by Jones since he took the job in December 2015.

Frustrations continue for the Saracens hooker, who wasn’t selected for any of the Lions tests in the summer against South Africa. George, who has been a key man for Jones since 2017, finds himself dropped by the Aussie for the first time.

Despite appearing in all three tests for the Lions in the summer, Vunipola was also overlooked by the England boss as he looks to refresh his squad. Jones has instead opted to recall Joe Marler after he opted out of the Six Nations to spend time with family.
