Steve Borthwick has retained his place in England's elite player squad.
The Saracens skipper is expected to remain his country's captain in the November internationals against Australia, Argentina and New Zealand.
Tom Mercey has maintained his place in the England Saxons squad. The 22-year-old prop has been joined in the group by centre Brad Barritt. The pair were involved in the Saxons' Churchill Cup campaign.
But there was no place for Noah Cato, Alex Goode or Andy Saull in the Saxons.
