Here, we list three players England head coach Eddie Jones should call-up ahead of their Autumn Nations Series finale against South Africa next Saturday.

#1. Ollie Hassell-Collins (London Irish)

England can't persist with playing Manu Tuilagi out wide, especially when there is plenty of quality talent waiting in the wings…literally. A 6ft 4in London Irish winger with lots of pace, Hassell-Collins has made seven clean breaks in this season’s Gallagher Premiership, scored two tries and covered 714 metres with the ball in hand – the second-highest figure in the competition. The 22-year-old has certainly done enough to warrant a look from the England boss.

#2. Ben Earl (Saracens)

Most other countries would dearly love to be able to pick a player of Earl’s calibre. A seriously quick, dynamic athlete, the 22-year-old has been in sensational form for. Sarries. It is odd that Earl has been chosen to play 13 Tests by Jones since first being selected to tour South Africa in 2018 but has yet to be trusted to make a single start.

#3. Mako Vunipola (Saracens)

Vunipola’s international career was hanging in the balance after Jones chose to call up uncapped rookie Bevan Rodd instead of the three-times British and Irish Lions tourist. However, with the World Champions South Africa coming to Twickenham and Rodd failing to set the world alight against the Wallabies, Jones should recall the dynamic loosehead for a spot on the bench at the very least.
Even it proved to be a final game in an England shirt, it would be a fitting swansong for one of the men in whites most consistent players in the last seven years. Vunipola, along with brother Billy, is out of contract with Saracens at the end of the season and is attracting interest from clubs in France’s Top 14.
