Bath wing Semesa Rokoduguni and Saracens fullback Alex Goode are set to appear for England in the second autumn international game against Fiji on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Eddie Jones has dropped Northampton Saints flanker Tom Wood from the 25-man squad.

Rokoduguni has made a solitary appearance for England which came against the All Blacks in 2014 and has remained out of contention since then. He will now be positioned at right wing in the place of Marland Yarde.

The reigning Premiership player of the year Goode will join Rokoduguni at the back at the expense of Mike Brown. However, Brown will remain with the 25-man squad and Jones is expected to name the starting XV on Thursday.

With number eight Billy Vunipola doubtful for the Saturday's game with a upper body soreness, one of Nathan Hughes or Teimana Harrison is set to be given a start against Fiji while Jonathan Joseph is likely to be drafted into the starting XV in the place of Elliot Daly.

Jones insisted that Rokoduguni's return should be handled with care and believes he has the potential to have a long career with England.

"I want him 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. So I've got to manage that player well," Jones said.

"I want him to be right to play. He's a guy who hasn't played Test rugby. He's got the potential to.

"He's got things that other guys can't do, but I want him to come in, I want it to be right and I want his first Test to be a game where he plays really well.

"If he does that, then his career will grow, but if he has another experience like he did in 2014, then he won't play Test rugby again. And I want him to play Test rugby."
