Head coach Eddie Jones said: “This is a pre-season camp so a lot of our players, particularly the ones who went on the South African tour, have just started training with their clubs so it’s just a chance to get a group of players together to have a chat about the season ahead and look at the important areas in developing the team.

"With just over 12 months until the Rugby World Cup, it is an important time.

"We haven’t selected everyone. There are a number of players we rested from the tour that we have allowed to continue their pre-season with their clubs.

Jones added: “We have one day of training at this camp, a September camp, then a week before the South Africa game so every minute counts. We want to make sure we use every minute as productively as we can so that is the target."

England’s next training camp will be Sunday, September 23 until Wednesday, September 25 in Bristol before joining up on October 24 to prepare for the internationals in November.

England will play four matches in the upcoming Quilter Internationals against South Africa (November 3), New Zealand (November 10), Japan (November 17) and Australia (November 24). Kick off for all games will be 3pm live on Sky Sports HD.
