Eddie Jones calls up 29 players to England squad

Eddie Jones has called up twenty-nine players in the lead up to the much-anticipated clash with Scotland next weekend at BT Murrayfield.

England will be looking to maintain their unbeaten form in 2018 as they travel to Edinburgh for a match that is difficult to predict.

James Haskell and Joe Marler both return from suspension and are available for the remaining rounds.

England U20 wing Gabriel Ibitoye is named as an apprentice.

Much to his disappointment, it doesn’t look like Jonny May will be named as England captain this week after an Eddie Jones press-conference earlier in the week.

All in all, it appears that Jones will have few selection headaches this week barring any late injures.
