Sale fly-half George Ford is also promoted to the regular squad, having been previously named as going through \u2018rehabilitation\u2019 after a quad injury sustained in early October.<\/p>\n

Leicester forward Ollie Chessum drops out of the squad as he awaits assessment on a knee injury picked up against Saracens, while Charlie Ewels is also out as he follows return to play protocols following Bath\u2019s win at The Rec.<\/p>\n

Sale wing Tom Roebuck is also dropped from the 36-player squad that will prepare to play the All Blacks.<\/p>\n

The match is the first of four fixtures for England who also play Australia, South Africa and Japan at Allianz Stadium in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
