The Mail Online have revealed that four rookies will 'definitely' be included in Eddie Jones England squad for the Autumn Nations Series.

A serious overhaul is on the cards with a number of high-profile regulars set to miss out on selection.

#1. Marcus Smith

Age: 22
Club: Harlequins
Position: Fly-half

England are gearing up to embark on a bold new era, with the exciting Quins playmaker destined to act as poster boy.

Jones said: “He’s got all the attributes to be a very good 10 at Test level, but now it’s about whether he can develop his game, keep working hard and keep his feet on the ground.

“He’s got a very good attitude and great desire to keep working. If he doesn’t believe everything that’s written about him he’ll be alright.

“He’s coachable. He’s got good fundamental skills – he can catch square, pass accurately, he’s got a reasonable kicking game and his goal-kicking is first class.”

DID YOU KNOW? He moved to the United Kingdom at the age of thirteen from Asia and subsequently received a sports scholarship to attend Brighton College

#2. Adam Radwan

Age: 23
Club: Newcastle Falcons
Position: Winger

Radwan scored seven tries in 11 games during the 2020-21 Premiership season, earning a call-up for England's 2021 summer internationals. Taking his opportunity with both hands he scored a hat-trick on his England debut against Canada in July 2021, earning the fans' man of the match in the process.

JONES SAID: “He is quick, lightning quick. Sometimes we can’t see him at training he is that quick.

"I remember watching him about six games ago and he caught my eye and then I went up to Newcastle for the second last round (against Worcester) and watched the players live and he scored an extraordinary try in the corner so I thought he is worth a gamble.

"We rolled the dice, brought him into camp and every week he has grown. He is a hard worker, a hard trainer, wants to learn."
