Bristol Bears uncapped loose forward Sam Jeffries has now been called up to replace second row Charlie Ewels who has been ruled out of the tour after suffering a knee injury.

In a statement, the RFU revealed: "Charlie Ewels suffered a knee injury on Wednesday which has ruled him out of England's tour of Australia.

"He will return home for further assessment. Sam Jeffries has been called up to the squad and will travel to Perth ahead of England's first test against Australia on Saturday 2nd July."

Jones said:

“We have had very strong preparation for this game,”"

We did some good recovery work in Fremantle and quality training in Perth. The squad has come together well since we met up last week.

“Picking the 23 out of this group of 36 was difficult.  We feel we have a well-balanced team which is ready for this improving Australia team.  We’ll take it to them from the start.”

The three Tests will be shown live on Sky Sports or NOW TV in the UK.

The England and Harlequins fly-half has been dating the professional model for over a year.
