Saints trio stay with England ahead of New Zealand showdown

Alex Coles and David Ribbans, who have both made their England debuts in the Autumn Nations Series, are also part of the 25-man squad.

But Alex Mitchell and George Furbank have been released.

Freeman, Mitchell and Furbank were all allowed to leave camp last week, and they went on to start for Saints against Saracens last Sunday.

But there will be no heading back to his club this week for Freeman as Joe Cokanasiga's ankle injury has opened the door for the talented Saints back.
