England trim squad ahead of Australia Test

England have retained 25 players to prepare for Saturday’s final Series game of the autumn internationals against Australia at Twickenham.
Following their Grand Slam and whitewash over the Wallabies in the summer, Eddie Jones’ side will be looking to end the year unbeaten after wins over South Africa, Fiji and Argentina over the past three weeks.
Given the injury to Billy Vunipola, Nathan Hughes is retained and is expected to start at No.8 with Teimana Harrison on the bench once more.
One of Dave Atwood and Charlie Ewels is set to miss out as back up lock while Semesa Rokoduguni and Marland Yarde are expected to battle it out for the right wing spot following Elliot Daly’s suspension.
