WARRIORS centre Ben Te’o has been named in England’s final 33-man squad for the Old Mutual Wealth Series against South Africa, Fiji, Argentina and Australia.
England head coach Eddie Jones named Te’o as one of his six uncapped players in the squad, which will fly to Portugal this Sunday (October 30) for a week of training, before returning to Pennyhill Park ahead of their opening Test against South Africa at Twickenham on Saturday, November 12.
Jones said: “With a number of influential players missing through injury, we have two weeks to prepare a robust and resilient team to meet the challenges set for us.
“Our training camp in Portugal is a great opportunity to spend a week together, focus on putting our game-plans in place and for new players to understand the England way.
“We’re looking forward to being back in front of a passionate Twickenham crowd and I’m confident we can prepare well and put together a matchday 23 which is full of pride, energy and commitment, to give South Africa the game of their lives.”
