Eddie Jones names his England side to face Georgia this weekend in the Autumn Nations Cup

Follow the latest updates live from Eddie Jones’s press conference as he names his England squad for their opening Autumn Nations Cup clash against Georgia.

The newest tournament on the international stage gets under way this weekend as the Six Nations sides are joined by the Rugby Europe Championship winners as well as Fiji, with the action kicking off on Friday night as Ireland host a struggling Wales side, before Saturday’s fixtures include the first ever Test between England and Georgia outside of a World Cup at Twickenham.

Jones has stressed he will not be handing out caps for the sake of it, with a relatively full strength team expected from the Australian today, although Anthony Watson has been ruled out with an ankle injury. The team will be announced at 11am, with Jones set to speak 30 minutes later to explain his decisions. Follow the live updates below.
