England head coach Eddie Jones has included five Leicester Tigers players in a 33-man squad to take part in a training camp in Oxford.

Dan Cole, Ellis Genge, George Ford, Jonny May and Ben Youngs will join the squad on Sunday for a three-day get-together as England continue preparations for the autumn series against Argentina, Australia and Samoa.

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