Updated: 30 October 2017 10:46 PDT

Semesa Rokoduguni

Bath winger Semesa Rokoduguni has been called up into the England squad and will fly to Faro, Portugal this afternoon.

Rokoduguni replaces Elliot Daly (Wasps) who was withdrawn from the squad after picking up an injury (knee) on the weekend.

The remaining England players who played on Sunday have joined up with the squad today.

Yesterday, Matt Mullan and Elliot Daly (both Wasps) did not travel to Portugal with the England squad on Sunday after picking up injuries over the weekend. Mullan (elbow) and Daly (knee) will remain with their club for treatment and will have scans over the next couple of days.

On Thursday Eddie Jones named a 34-man squad ahead of their Old Mutual Wealth Series opener against Argentina.

The All Blacks captain shouldn't need a rest after a sabbatical

What a clown the author is. The players play way too many games and relative to other sports get paid very little. College football players in the US now make more than Ardie after they allowed them to monetise the social media etc. rest up Ardie.

Dave Rennie explains Noah Hotham omission and possible Carter switch

You seriously think a player who has never played halfback at SRP is going to win you a big test match if he has to go in at the 20 minute mark?

There is a reason that Carter was moved from halfback to wing. He was an average NPC halfback with no potential of advancing his career without making a positional switch to wing.

All Black great Ma'a Nonu leaves Toulon for new role at South African club

Looks like an opportunity missed by the NZ SRP teams. Especially with the number of players leaving every year, the youngsters could have done with mentoring by such a great of the game.

2026 WXV Global Series: Every single fixture and kick-off time

I dont think there is a table or placings-its not the same as the previous WXV tournament. These are essentially just fixtures-a lot really- 6 games almost seems too many-how many players will be injured before PWR even kicks off? 3 or 4 surely fine. 6 seems too many. France play NZ 4 times which seems overkill especially when say ireland dont have even 1 game against a team above them in the rankings.

Why Rieko Ioane needed Leinster stint after finding himself in a 'rut'

BB 10 FF 11 and Love 15 with the rest of that backline would be cool to see.

Excited to see how these Kiwi players do, not often we get to see guys a bit down the pecking order play together against anyone. Obviously as you know we got to see this with the French over the past couple of Julys so I’m intrigued to see how they’ll perform against these URC sides in their pre season.

The All Blacks captain shouldn't need a rest after a sabbatical

I might be wrong, but Rennie seems like the type that demands players go above and beyond.

It may be optional in theory, but missing it would be sending the coach a strong signal that I don't want to be selected next week.

The All Blacks captain shouldn't need a rest after a sabbatical

I emphasise with him, being the child of Samoan immigrants myself, nonetheless we all start somewhere and in our similar cases, with some initial and temporary adversity, by the way it builds character. He is the prodigy of hard working parents I'm sure, just as would be Scooter’s parents. I'm not a farmer but I doubt it would be a holiday owning a farm or even running one. You borrow off the bank for plant and machinery or use land as collateral driving around in a vehicle you don't own, you own nothing the bank does until you finally pay your loans. In a nutshell that is how it works, basically big risk and reward, but I digress. I would suggest that after 16 years as a professional rugby player Ardie has done damn well for himself, it doesn't take much digging to get an estimate of his potential earnings, I can tell you he's far removed from those carless days of his youth that you point out. But I don't begrudge Ardie “making hay while the sun shines” because one's appetite grows in relation to their means and ofcourse he has a wife and family and business ventures to attend to. If I can use this analogy; There is a monumental task before them they are going to war and we need our leadership to set the tone and build the unity. The coach is the Admiral and he will be in the vanguard but the ship will put to sea without it's Captain who will be having a break after coming back from a Sabbatical; “a planned break from work or study, usually for rest with the expectation you'll return afterwards and resume where you left off.” Yeah? Nah!
