"Out for family reasons" - 5 England players who won't be going to Australia - and who will replace them

The next opportunity England will have to turn things around is their summer tour to Australia - a three-Test series in July. The big question for Jones is: does he stick or twist?

Below, we look at five players who will almost definitely not travel.

Replacement: Owen Farrell

Initially left out and relatively unused during the 2022 Six Nations, it appears that the international career of the Leicester Tigers fly-half is all but over. England captain Farrell will likely take his place in the squad for the three-match series against the Wallabies though he may line-up at 12 with Marcus Smith retaining the fly-half position.

Replacement: Jonny Hill

Following the Bath man's record-breaking red card after just 82 seconds, which came after several other disappointing displays, it seems likely that Jonny Hill will come straight back into the squad. The Exeter Chiefs man had gone well in the Autumn before his injury.

Replacement: Alfie Barbeary

Jones was critical of Simmonds before the Six Nations, and the Exeter man did little to cement himself in the squad with his performances. It would be no shock to see him kicked o the curb with in-form Wasps number 8 Alfie Barbeary coming in for the first of many caps.

Replacement: Manu Tuilagi

Jones clearly doesn't fancy the Gloucester powerhouse with Tuilagi, if he can remain fit, more than likely coming straight back into the fold.

Replacement: Raffi Quirke

It's unlikely that the scrum-half will travel to Australia due to personal reasons after he pulled out of the 2021 Lions tour. As a result, it would be great to get a better look at exciting playmaker Raffi Quirke following his impressive cameo appearances during the Autumn Nations Series.
