Head coach Eddie Jones names England training squad

The squad are set to meet in London on Tuesday and Wednesday, with players from Exeter, Wasps, Bristol, Bath, Sale and Worcester unable to attend due to Premiership commitments

Jones said: “Our preparation to build the team for the Italy game starts now. We have a three-day camp this week and another one next week then we’re into the week of our Quilter Cup match against the Barbarians. We’ll be slowly building up, working on the basics and working on team cohesion.

“We’re excited to be back together in camp representing England. This autumn we want to play for the fans and give them something to smile about.”

An updated squad will be confirmed ahead of England’s next training camp from Thursday 15 to Saturday 17 October.

England have six upcoming fixtures this autumn starting with the uncapped Quilter Cup against the Barbarians (25 October, KO 2pm GMT, live on Sky Sports).

* Uncapped players

Elliot Daly met his partner at the £18,618-a-year Whitgift School for boys in Croydon, south London, where the Saracens star was a pupil and she worked as a sports events organiser.

The prop, who likes to keep his private life well hidden, shared a gender reveal video of the pairs first baby on his Instagram, but made sure to keep his Welsh girlfriends face out of frame. She is reportedly studying Law.

The beautiful wife of Ben Youngs works as a cosmetic nurse at an upscale Leicester clinic. The pair have two young children, Boris, four, and two-year-old Billie. With a private Instagram account, Charlotte clearly definitely prefers to stay away from the media spotlight.

The Personal Trainer in Market Harborough married the England speedster three years ago. Sophie earns her living as a personal trainer, posting regular updates on the Girlsontopoffitness Instagram page.

The pair have two children together called Nelly and Teddy. She often shares photographs of her adorable youngsters on her Instagram page, which has over 7,400 followers. Glamorous Jessica also has another sideline in her portfolio career, developing properties.

The pair flew to Tonga and admitted that their wedding in 2019 wasn't without stresses. Vunipola said afterwards: 'The wedding was awesome and I’m obviously very happy to be married to my wife.

He added: 'My family are very demanding in terms of all the traditional things. I’ve grown up my whole life in the UK, so it was tough to get my head around that.'

The American events planner has been the better half of England star Anthony Watson for a number of years now. The two are now expecting their first child.

Despite being one of the games' global superstars, his wife has chosen to keep her life extremely private. The couple, both 28, tied the knot in the summer of 2018 and Owens better half gave birth to their son, Tommy, in March.
