But Jones is set to stick with Jonathan Joseph at outside centre against the Scots at Murrayfield on Feb. 6, the Australian's first game in charge after replacing Stuart Lancaster.

Jones retained three uncapped players in his squad of 23, flanker Jack Clifford, prop Paul Hill and centre Ollie Devoto who could all make their debuts off the bench.

England appointed hooker Dylan Hartley as captain on Monday.
