3 Cherry & Whites have been called up by Eddie Jones for England's Autumn Nations Series campaign.

Jack Singleton (3 Caps), Jonny May (69 Caps) and Val Rapava-Ruskin (uncapped) are the Gloucester trio that have made the selection.

26-year-old Singleton was first called up by Eddie Jones in May 2017 for an uncapped game against the Barbarians before touring both Argentina and South Africa without making an appearance.

In 2019, the hooker won his first cap against Wales in a warm up for the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. Following the game he was announced in the squad for the tournament, making one appearance off the bench against the USA.

Singleton's most recent test appearance came against South Africa last Autumn.

May won his first international cap in England's 2013 tour of Argentina and has been a regular ever since.

He won his 50th cap in England's Rugby World Cup 2019 quarter-final win over Australia, celebrating the occasion by scoring two tries.

May is England's second highest try scorer of all time with 35 tries, 14 behind first place Rory Underwood.

Rapava-Ruskin was called up to the England training squad before the 2019 Rugby World Cup along with May and Singleton but missed out on the final selection.

His impressive form for Gloucester again this season including scoring two tries against Saracens and another two tries against Bristol has clearly caught the eye of the England selectors.

England's Autumn Nations Series features four games at Twickenham starting with Argentina on Sunday 6 November (2.15pm KO) before hosting Japan on Saturday 12 November (3.15pm KO). On Saturday 19 November (5.30pm KO), England play New Zealand before ending with a clash against World Champions South Africa, who defeated England in the final, on Saturday 26 November (5.30pm KO).

In addition to the England selections, Gloucester back-row Albert Tuisue has been called up to the Fijian squad for the Autumn Nations Series.

Vern Cotter's side play Scotland at BT Murrayfield on Saturday 5 November (1pm KO) before heading across the Irish sea to face Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday 12 November (1pm KO). Fiji finish their autumn fixtures with a game against French Barbarians in Lille on Saturday 19 November (KO TBC).

Tuisue has played 16 times for Fiji since making his debut in 2018, scoring two tries.

The Welsh conclude their Autumn Nations series with a clash against Australia on Saturday 26 November (3.15pm KO).

Having only recently rejoined the Cherry & Whites squad after a successful Rugby Championship, Argentinian duo Matias Alemano and Santiago Carreras will once again be joining up with the Pumas for their Autumn tests.

Argentina begin their Autumn Nations Series at Twickenham where they play England on Sunday 6 November (2.15pm KO), where they could potentially face Cherry & Whites Jonny May, Jack Singleton and Val Rapava-Ruskin. On Saturday 12 November (5.30pm KO) the Argentinians play Wales in Cardiff before ending against Scotland on Saturday 19 November (3.15pm KO) where they could meet Gloucester duo Adam Hastings and Chris Harris.

Italy open their Autumn Nations Series campaign on Saturday 5 November when they welcome Samoa to Padua in North Italy. A week later thay play Australia in Florence before concluding their series in Genoa against South Africa.
