BATH backs George Ford, Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson has been included in Eddie Jones' 32-strong England squad to tour Australia next month.

The trio, who played in England's Grand Slam-winning side during the Six Nations Championship, retain their places, while Leicester's Manu Tuilagi has been included despite sustaining a hamstring injury that threatens his participation in the tour.

Tuilagi incurred the injury during Leicester's defeat by Saracens in Saturday's Aviva Premiership semi-final at Allianz Park and it is understood the initial prognosis is that he will be sidelined for six weeks.

Owen Farrell, who suffered a rib problem in the same match, is also present and there are four uncapped players for the three-Test series against the Wallabies.

Worcester centre Ben Te'o, Bristol prop Ellis Genge, Harlequins prop Kyle Sinckler and Northampton back row Teimana Harrison could make their England debuts next month.

Wing Chris Ashton is a shock exclusion from the touring party, which will be captained by Dylan Hartley.
