Semesa Rokoduguni has been left out of England's squad to face Argentina on Saturday, despite his man-of-the-match performance against Fiji

Semesa Rokoduguni has not been included in England's squad to face Argentina on Saturday, despite his man-of-the-match performance against Fiji last weekend.

Rokoduguni scored two tries against the country of his birth last Saturday but has now been cut by Eddie Jones for the upcoming Autumn international against the Pumas, live on Sky Sports 2.

Mike Brown, however, has been included in England's 24-man squad for the match at Twickenham.

Brown did not feature in the 58-12 win over Fiji  as Jones experimented with Alex Goode at full-back.

However, the Saracens man has been left out of England's latest squad, with Brown expected to start against the Pumas this weekend.

Saracens second row George Kruis has also been recalled following minor ankle surgery in October.

Jones will be pleased to have the 26-year-old available after losing Wasps second row Joe Launchbury to a two-week suspension earlier this week.

Charlie Ewels has kept his place in the squad although his Bath team-mate Dave Attwood has also been omitted, as Jones looks to maintain his perfect start as England's head coach.

The Australian has won all 11 of his matches in charge of England and will be confident of extending that run against Argentina, who suffered a disappointing 19-16 loss to Scotland last time out.
