England drop Semesa Rokoduguni for Argentina as George Kruis returns
Fiji-born winger scored in each half of Saturday’s 58-15 win over Fiji, but is not included in a 24-man squad announced by coach Eddie Jones
Semesa Rokoduguni has been dropped by England for Saturday’s international with Argentina, even though he scored two tries against Fiji at Twickenham last weekend.
Fiji-born wing Rokoduguni, who was playing in his first test in two years, crossed in each half as England thrashed the Pacific islanders 58-15 on Saturday, but he was not included in a 24-man squad announced by coach Eddie Jones.
It is the second time Rokoduguni has been dropped immediately after making a test appearance, the first after he made his debut against New Zealand in 2014.
Jones, speaking before Rokoduguni’s international recall, said: “I want Roko to play 30-40 tests for England and to do that I’ve got to make sure that what happened to him last time doesn’t happen again.
“I’ve got to manage that player well. I want him to be right to play.”
