England head coach Eddie Jones will today name his 31-man squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan – despite the deadline being nearly a month away.
The squad is set to be named at midday and will be available on RUCK immediately following the official announcement.
"We will name a very strong squad of 31 on Monday,” revealed Jones.
“We want the players to focus on being the tightest and most cohesive England squad ever to have played in a World Cup and we have the opportunity to do that."
"We've had a squad of around 36-38 and there's been a great competitive spirit. Everyone wants to play for England, they know they have a good chance to win the World Cup - today was just a selection day.
"We know where the injuries are and we know who is going to be available and who is not," he explained.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
