Noah Caluori, an uncapped wing for the Saracens, is one of the 36-man England squad named for the autumn internationals under Steve Borthwick.

Caluori, 19, made the full international squad last week after scoring five tries in Saracens’ win over Sale in his full Premiership debut. He was invited to train with England last week.

Due to injury issues, Leicester forward Emeka Ilione misses out on the team, but Sale pair Tom Curry and Raffi Quirke are back.

Next Saturday (15:10 GMT), England will face Australia in Twickenham for their first autumn internationals.

As we approach what will be a fiercely competitive series, Borthwick said, “Our goal is to make the most of the time we have together.”

Under former England coach Eddie Jones, Scrum-half Quirke won two caps four years ago, but a string of injuries prevented the 24-year-old’s progress.

After leading the British and Irish Lions to a successful series victory in Australia over the summer, team-mate Curry underwent surgery to repair a long-standing wrist injury.

Owen Farrell, the former captain, is expected to miss out.
