England recall Freeman to squad for All Blacks test
England recalled winger Tommy Freeman on Tuesday as head coach Eddie Jones stuck with a largely unchanged 25-man squad for Saturday's test against New Zealand at Twickenham.
Joe Cokanasiga is unavailable after suffering an ankle injury in England's 52-13 win over Japan last weekend. The team will be announced on Thursday.
England will face the All Blacks for the first time since their 19-7 win over them in the 2019 World Cup semi-final. They finish their Autumn campaign against world champions South Africa on 26 November.
New Zealand come into the match having defeated Scotland 31-23.
