England recall Billy Vunipola for Australia rugby tour
Eddie Jones on Monday recalled powerful Saracens forward Billy Vunipola as he named a 36-man squad for England's three-Test Australia tour in July.
Injuries to Alex Dombrandt and Sam Simmonds have opened the door for No. 8 Vunipola to make his first international appearance since last year's Six Nations.
England will travel to Australia on Tuesday ahead of their first game against the Wallabies in Perth on July 2.
Jones has selected 12 players from the weekend's Premiership Rugby finalists, Leicester and Saracens, including a return for Australia-born Vunipola.
There are eight uncapped players along with Henry Arundell and Will Joseph, who are named as apprentice players.
Ten players are unavailable for selection due to injury including Leicester's George Ford, who hobbled off early in the Premiership final at Twickenham, which Leicester won.
"Though we have 10 players unavailable due to injury, we have picked a very strong squad capable of winning the series," said England coach Jones.
"This squad is a real mix of young, talented players and some very experienced, senior players and we're looking forward to bring the group together.
"This tour will be a great experience for the group and a crucial part of the team’s work towards the Rugby World Cup in 2023."
