LEINSTER’S BEN TE’O has earned his first England call-up ahead of the three-Test tour of Australia.

Te’o, who will leave Ireland to join the Worcester Warriors after next weekend’s Pro12 final, is one of four uncapped players in Eddie Jones’s squad.

The versatile back, who played rugby league for Samoa but has never been capped at senior international level in rugby union, is eligible through his mother who was born and raised in England.

Northampton back-row Teimana Harrison, Leicester prop Ellis Genge, and Harlequins prop Kyle Sinckler also feature in the 32-man panel.

Jones has also named a reduced squad of 26, which does not feature Te’o or the players involved in the Aviva Premiership final with Saracens and Exeter, for next Saturday’s Test against Wales at Twickenham.

England play the first Test of their Australian tour in Brisbane on 11 June before travelling to Melbourne and Sydney.
