Twenty-eight of the 36 players named by Steve Borthwick in the England squad for the upcoming Autumn Nations Series will start for their clubs in this weekend’s Gallagher Premiership. Five more have been chosen as replacements, leaving just three players – Saracens’ Ben Earl, Leicester’s George Martin and Exeter’s Henry Slade – not togging out.

Saracens reported on Friday that Earl, Borthwick’s first choice No8, “failed to recover from a minor knock” picked up at The Stoop in last Sunday’s loss to Harlequins and won’t be involved in this Saturday’s top of the table clash at Bristol.

Martin hasn’t played for Tigers since being subbed off late in the October 4 win at Newcastle. He was pulled from the October 7 England training camp as he was unable to train, but was included last Wednesday for next week’s warm-weather camp in Girona ahead of the November 2 clash with New Zealand in London.

    Slade, meanwhile, has been making his way back from the shoulder operation he underwent post the summer tour in Japan and New Zealand. He will link up with England at Pennyhill on Monday yet to play for Exeter this season and will fly out with them to Spain.

    The five England players on replacement duty this weekend include Harlequins duo Chandler Cunningham-South and Joe Marler, who play host to Bath on Saturday, and Leicester’s Dan Cole, who have Gloucester at Welford Road on Sunday.

    Also subbing will be England skipper Jamie George and his Saracens teammate Nick Isiekwe. They are on the bench at Ashton Gate on Saturday having started last Sunday at Quins.

    In contrast, Northampton and Bath are starting all five of their respective England picks, with Sale rolling out their quartet – including the Curry twins. Here are the 10 teams named for all five Premiership round five matches:

The website looked professional, the reviews seemed genuine, and the agent I spoke to was incredibly persuasive. I paid the full amount upfront, excited to finally make my dream trip a reality. However, as the departure date approached, I noticed red flags. My emails to the agency went unanswered, and when I tried calling, the number was disconnected.

    Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

    Like many crypto enthusiasts, My dad was initially drawn to the platform by its seemingly professional interface, an array of cryptocurrencies available for trading, and the alluring promises of high returns. The exchange looked reputable, offering a seamless user experience. Dad decided to deposit a significant amount of $50,000 to try his hand at crypto trading. Everything appeared legitimate, and after a few weeks, his account balance had grown to over $200,000. I remember how thrilled he was with his success and wanted to cash out some of his profits. However, when he tried to withdraw funds, problems began to emerge. The platform’s customer service team contacted him with an urgent request: to unlock his funds, he would need to deposit an additional $40,000. The explanation provided was that there were "processing fees" associated with large withdrawals, and that this extra deposit was required before the investor could access any of his money. That’s when I began doing my research and in the process, I found that this is in fact a common scheme. My brother in-law recommended a Tech company called GearHead Engineers, which has been helping victims like my dad to successfully withdraw their funds without paying the unfair fees. We did contact them through their email, gearhead(@)engineer(.)com and after a series of communication, they got back every single penny back. This only took them 4 days. I must admit that we were impatient but it turned out great. Reach out to them.

Initially, I felt hopeless and frustrated, but then I came across OPTIMISTIC HACKER GAIUS through a recommendation from a friend who had previously utilized his services.From the moment I contacted Gaius, I was impressed by his professionalism and expertise.

His knowledge of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency was remarkably in-depth, and it gave me hope that my funds could be traced and returned.

    Throughout the process, Gaius kept me updated with regular progress reports. He was transparent about the steps he was taking, which made me feel involved and reassured. What impressed me the most was his ability to track down the scammer’s digital footprints. He managed to analyze transaction histories and cross-reference data that ultimately led to the recovery of my funds. In just a few weeks, Gaius successfully recovered the entire amount I had lost. The relief I felt was indescribable, and I couldn’t thank him enough. His dedication and expertise saved me from what seemed like an irretrievable situation.

    The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech


    As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality.Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, I encourage you to trust HACK SAVVY TECH they truly know how to help.
