Rokoduguni, Kruis and Clark in line for England Test debut
The 33-man group also features Saracens lock George Kruis and Northampton Saints flanker Calum Clark and will meet up at Pennyhill Park on Sunday to prepare for the opening clash with the All Blacks on November 8.
Centre Jonathan Joseph is included with Manu Tuilagi injured and swells the number of in-form Bath representatives to seven. George Ford is among those from the West Country club as one of three options at fly-half alongside Owen Farrell and Stephen Myler.
Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: “The first six rounds of the Premiership and opening round of European action have given us plenty to think about as coaches with a lot of players putting their hand up for selection and we are excited by the options available to us.
“We are still monitoring a number of players injury-wise and with another intensive round of European games to come, including the Wasps-Harlequins and Sale–Clermont games on Sunday, there are likely to be additions to the squad after the weekend as we move into the training camp and towards the games – so there is plenty to be decided before the New Zealand match comes around.
“We have four quality sides coming to Twickenham for this QBE Internationals series and we are really looking forward to playing at home in front of our passionate supporters as we continue the build up to the World Cup in 12 months’ time.”
Harlequins’ Chris Robshaw will captain the side and Lancaster added: “Chris continues to lead from the front and with other players now stepping up into captaincy and senior roles at their clubs, we are building a team of leaders who can take England forward.
“There are a number of players unavailable for this series because of long term injury (listed below) but they are all on the road to recovery and as always, it gives the opportunity for others to come in and stake their claim.
“We have included Jonathan [Joseph] as an injury replacement for Manu. It is obviously disappointing to lose Manu but JJ has been in great form and deserves this chance. Our medics will continue to work closely Leicester’s and ensure that Manu is supported in his rehabilitation from his injury.”
