Anton Lienert-Brown has been recalled to Ian Foster’s squad for the Autumn Nations Series after missing New Zealand’s defence of their Rugby Championship title this summer.
Foster added: “With less than a year until the start of the Rugby World Cup, this tour gives us another great opportunity to grow from where we finished the Rugby Championship.
“Experiencing big Test matches in the north is great preparation for what is to come in France next year.”
