The England head coach Eddie Jones continues to throw up surprises in selection. The wing Semesa Rokoduguni, who scored two tries in last weekend’s victory over Fiji, has been dropped for Saturday’s encounter against Argentina at Twickenham.

Rokoduguni, singled out for praise by Jones on Saturday evening, was left out of the revised squad of 24 who will prepare for the match with Jonny May, the scorer of their first try in the four-match autumn series against South Africa, recalled.

The second row George Kruis, who missed the opening two matches through injury, returns to likely partner Courtney Lawes in the second row with Joe Launchbury starting a two-match ban for kicking having been cited after the Fiji match. Charlie Ewels, who won his first cap from the bench on Saturday, is the other second row option.

Alex Goode is the other started against Fiji who has been left out. Elliot Daly, who is set to remain on the wing following his impressive display there at the weekend, would cover the full-back Mike Brown with two centres, Henry Slade and Ben Te’o, included in the 24.

The player likely to miss out on a place in the match-day squad is set to be either Tom Wood or Teimana Harrison. They have each started one match on the open-side this month, but with Nathan Hughes offering No 8 cover from the bench, they are unlikely to be both in the 23.
