Denny Solomona and Sam Underhill are among 15 uncapped players named in England's 31-man rugby squad for their June tour to Argentina.

Rugby league convert Solomona, who qualifies for the RBS 6 Nations champions on residency grounds, and back row prospect Underhill feature in a 31-man party that is missing Danny Cipriani.

Forwards: Will Collier, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ben Curry, Tom Curr, Charlie Ewels, Ellis Genge, Dylan Hartley (captain), James Haskell, Paul Hill, Nathan Hughes, Nick Isiekwe, Joe Launchbury, Matt Mullan, Chris Robshaw, Sam Underhill, Harry Williams, Tom Wood.

Backs: Mike Brown (vice-captain), Danny Care (vice captain), Joe Cokanasiga, Nathan Earle, George Ford (vice captain), Piers Francis, Sam James, Alex Lozowski, Harry Mallinder, Joe Marchant, Jack Maunder, Jonny May, Henry Slade, Denny Solomona.
