England: Semesa Rokoduguni and Marland Yarde retained for Australia Test

Semesa Rokoduguni and Marland Yarde have been retained in England's 25-man squad to prepare for Saturday's match against Australia at Twickenham.

The pair are competing for the wing spot vacated by Elliot Daly, who has been banned for three weeks.

Yarde is thought to be the favourite to replace Daly, while Nathan Hughes is the likely option at number eight with Billy Vunipola injured.

Head coach Eddie Jones will name his matchday squad of 23 on Thursday.

Daly was banned after being sent off in last weekend's victory over Argentina.

Hughes spent much of Tuesday's training session in England's first-choice back row, alongside Chris Robshaw and Tom Wood.

The Fiji-born Wasps forward has won two caps this autumn as a replacement, but has yet to make a first international start.

Elsewhere in the back row, Teimana Harrison has also been retained, but Jack Clifford has returned to Harlequins.

Yarde started on the wing against South Africa, but has not featured since, while Rokoduguni made a try-scoring return to Test rugby against Fiji, before being dropped from the squad to face the Pumas.

Regular full-back Mike Brown and prop Joe Marler both missed training on Tuesday, but neither have a serious injury.
