Following a successful 2017 November series to date, England are looking to finish it off with a win over Samoa on Saturday.

The Red Rose have seen off Argentina and Australia so far this month, as Eddie Jones continues to work on building depth in his side.

They have today issued a squad update ahead of their test with the Pacific Island nation, and it comes with the news that Nathan Hughes is facing a period on the sidelines. The number 8 featured in the last two games, but will be out for three to four weeks after suffering a knee injury.

In all, eight players have been released to their clubs. Tom Dunn, Jonathan Joseph, George Kruis, Zach Mercer, Marcus Smith, Denny Solomona, and Anthony Watson have all been sent back.
