England head coach Eddie Jones has named five Leicester Tigers in his squad for the autumn series, including front-rowers Nic Dolly and Ellis Genge.
They are joined by George Martin, Freddie Steward and Ben Youngs in the squad.
Dolly has previously represented England at Under-20s level and has played in each of the Tigers’ five games so far this season, scoring five tries, after joining the club during the 2020/21 campaign.
England open the autumn series against Tonga at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday, November 6 and also face Australia and South Africa on successive weekends.
Tigers wing Hosea Saumaki has already been selected in the Tonga squad for their tour.
Dolly is among four uncapped players alongside Tommy Freeman, Mark Atkinson and Raffi Quirke.
Jones said: “This is a young but very good, talented squad who have all earned their places. It is one of the most competitive squads I have ever picked.
“There are a number of disappointed players who haven’t been selected, but they know what they need to do and no door is closed to any player.
“We’re looking forward to three tough Test matches. Tonga always play a strong, physical game and Australia and South Africa have had extended periods together and will be a good challenge for us.
“Our aim each week will be to get better and better as we work towards the Rugby World Cup in 2023.”
England will first face Tonga on Saturday 6 November (3.15pm KO). They will then host Australia on Saturday 13 November (5.30pm KO) and in their final game, take on world champions South Africa on Saturday 20 November (3.15pm KO).
All matches will be live on Amazon Prime Video Sport and TalkSPORT.
