England today announced the squad to prepare for the first QBE International against Fiji at Twickenham Stadium on November 10.
Thirty-two players will meet at St George's Park, Burton on Sunday, including forwards Ben Morgan (Gloucester Rugby) Tom Johnson (Exeter Chiefs) and David Wilson (Bath Rugby).
Gloucester's Charlie Sharples is among the 15 backs selected.
England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: "As a coaching team we can't wait to go into camp and get the guys focused on what will be a massive challenge in the QBE Internationals – Fiji and then the three major Southern Hemisphere teams in successive weeks.
"We have been impressed with some of the rugby we have seen in the Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup and are looking forward to the players bringing that form to Twickenham."
England will be at the Football Association's new sports training and development centre from Sunday, October 28 to Thursday, November 1 before returning to their usual training base of Pennyhill Park, Bagshot on Sunday, November 4 ahead of the Test against Fiji.
