England Rugby head coach Steve Borthwick has named his squad for a three-day training camp ahead of the forthcoming Quilter Autumn Nations Series.

The squad assembled and will train at England’s Performance Centre at Pennyhill Park.

England welcome Australia at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday 1 November (kick-off 3.10pm) for their first match of the 2025 Quilter Autumn Nations Series, before taking on Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina.

Tom Willis has been left out. Willis, who had established himself as England’s first-choice No.8, has been left out following his decision to leave Saracens at the end of the season and sign a contract with Top 14 side Bordeaux that will make him ineligible for international selection.

EDITOR’S PICKS:

There is no place for Farrell. The 34-year-old, who has 112 England caps, has featured at inside centre for Saracens this season and played in midfield for the British and Irish Lions in the summer.

Noah Caluori, the 19-year-old who scored five tries for Saracens in Saturday’s win over Sale, has been included in the squad as an additional player as part of a development agreement with the Gallagher Prem club.
