Jonathan Joseph, Kyle Sinckler, George Kruis and James Haskell all miss out on England's 33-man training squad, while Marcus Smith and Tom Dunn are included.

Harlequins fly-half Marcus Smith has been included in England's training squad ahead of November's Autumn Internationals.

The 18-year-old has been on boss Eddie Jones's radar since 2012 and, following a stellar display in his club side's 24-21 win over Wasps on Sunday, he has been included in the 33-man group.

Elsewhere, Jones has omitted four British and Irish Lions players from his squad, as Kyle Sinckler, George Kruis, James Haskell and Jonathan Joseph all miss out.

The Red Rose also include another uncapped player in their ranks, with Bath Rugby's Tom Dunn doing enough to impress Jones.

"This camp in Oxford is a really positive opportunity for the group to come back together and sharpen our focus and preparation ahead of our first match against Argentina," Jones said.

"This is our most important game this year and we want the players to come away from camp having trained well with a clear plan of how we want to play and win against the Pumas."

England's players are scheduled to meet in Oxford on Sunday for the three-day training camp, as preparations begin for their clash against Argentina on November 11 at Twickenham.
