Eddie Jones selects final England Rugby squad to take on Argentina

Eddie Jones has confirmed his squad ahead of England’s two-Test series against Argentina next month. The squad assembled at the Lensbury Hotel in Teddington on Monday before leaving for Buenos Aires on Saturday, 3 June. 

Denny Solomona (Sale Sharks) will be assessed today (Monday) after suffering a mid-foot sprain in England’s recent camp in Brighton. Marland Yarde (Harlequins) has been called up as injury cover with a decision to be made later.

Piers Francis (Auckland Blues/ Northampton Saints) will fly from New Zealand to join the group in the Argentinian capital next weekend.

Jones said: “I’m really excited about this Test series in Argentina. It is a big opportunity for this group and we are going out there to win 2-0.
