The 19-year-old star, who scored five tries against Sale this season, was left out of Steve Borthwick’s latest squad.
Caluori trained with England ahead of their 25-7 win over Australia, and Borthwick had hinted he could earn his first cap this autumn. That moment now looks likely to come with England A against an All Blacks XV in Bath instead.
ENGLAND EYE FIJI CLASH

Borthwick’s squad sees minimal changes from the Australia win.
