Before the two Tests, an England A side will face Scotland A at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, Leicester on Sunday, 27 June. Kick off times for all matches will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

For the first time since England beat France in the Autumn Nations Cup Final in December 2020, supporters will be able to attend England matches.

In line with government guidance, both stadiums will be operating at a reduced capacity. It is expected that at least 10,000 supporters will be able to attend each match at Twickenham Stadium, and 6,000 at Welford Road, with the potential to increase these numbers if government guidelines allow in the coming weeks.

Tickets will be available to the rugby community for England v USA and England v Canada from Thursday 13 May. Ticket details for England A v Scotland A will be confirmed shortly.

With the British and Irish Lions tour taking place this summer and 11 English players part of the tour, head coach Jones will have the opportunity to select a different squad.

He said: “The summer series will give us the chance to look at a lot of players and see how they step up, and it’s an important part of our World Cup preparation.

“For younger players, it’s a chance to show what they can do at international level and how they are in the team environment.

“There aren’t too many opportunities to lead at international level, so for the more experienced players it’s a chance to take further leadership roles and grow their game in that area.

“USA are one of the most ambitious of the emerging nations. They have an experienced coach in Gary Gold and have a team full of American verve and physicality, with the aim of moving themselves up the world rankings.

“Canada are a traditional rival for England. They’re a tough, physical side and Kingsley Jones is an astute coach so we’re expecting two good, competitive Test matches for our supporters.

“We’re really looking forward to having supporters back in the stadiums, it makes such a difference and we expect it’ll be three exciting matches for everyone watching.”

Making the right noises but we'll see

Marchant I think is almost guaranteed, given Eddie likes him and picked him despite his form not being great - and Eddie's seen his last couple of matches where pre-NZ Joe was in full flight.

Smith... the only way he isn't involved is if Eddie has one of his anti-press-hype meltdowns and ignores him, or he gets injured. He is probably the player of the season, it's between him and Sam Simmonds again.

Dombrandt is a tricky one, I don't know if Eddie likes him at all, Billy is available and he's a fan of Ben Earl. He might ignore him completely. Very hard to say.

Smith, Dombrandt and Marchant to be involved?

Surely there's a number of Saracens players getting no game time who are ahead of them in the pecking order?

Murley is a good shout, though I think there's so many impressive young English wingers right now (Sleightholme, Freeman - also a fb - Loader, Hassell-Collins, etc) that a) it'll be hard for anyone to be nailed on for the shirt, and b) anyone who gets it probably deserves it. A good problem to have.

Chis I think has probably missed the boat, I think Eddie will go for genuinely inexperienced players for the 'A' game, but he's an outside chance for the senior team. Obviously predicting Eddie is a mug's game, so I'm just projecting a little here. Chis not being able to put a string of games together when it matters most is likely to cost him, though.

Man, the idea of the 'A' game is surprisingly exciting. I've missed them. And in a Lions year they're even more exciting. There's just so many good young players making waves at the moment.

As they are now here and not in North America, i'm hoping that he'll still rest the current starters although he may want Billy and co to get some game time. The key is Ford. If he picks him to captain the side, then Smith is only going to get 20 or so minutes in the two tests but may well start the A game.

Never underestimate Eddie's ability to stick 2 fingers up to common sense.

I think Ford is a brilliant fly half and I don't like how Eddie always makes him carry the can for other people's failings.

Youngs/Farrell? 

I need to check with my Tigers mate and see if Ford with Youngs at club level looks better than International level? Imagine Robson, Smith, Slade & Odogwu with Simmons from the base.....scary

Imagine Robson, Smith, Slade & Odogwu with Simmons from the base.....scary

I'm imaging Lasike (or Andre, De Allende, etc) running at that backline.....scary
