Northampton Saints duo Alex Mitchell and Tommy Freeman have been added to Eddie Jones’ 36-man England squad ahead of this weekend’s clash with Japan.
The scrum-half and fullback link up with England ahead of the second round of Autumn Nations Series matches, joining fellow Saints George Furbank, David Ribbans and Sunday’s debutant Alex Coles.
England began their campaign with a 29-30 loss to Argentina at Twickenham Stadium and Jones makes three additions to his wider squad for the week, including calling up 25-year-old Mitchell and 21-year-old Freeman as they prepare to face Japan on Saturday (12 November, kick-off: 3.15pm).
