Eddie Jones has named his 36-man squad ahead of England’s clash with New Zealand, retaining Northampton Saints’ Alex Coles, Tommy Freeman, George Furbank, Alex Mitchell and David Ribbans ahead of the third round of the Autumn Nations Cup.
Fresh from making his debut in England’s 52-13 win over Japan on Saturday, 27-year-old Ribbans joins fellow Saints second row Coles in Jones’ squad for the third week running as England prepare to take on the All Blacks – while Freeman, Furbank and Mitchell are all recalled to the squad after featuring for Northampton against Saracens on Sunday.
