England pick banned player for tour of Argentina and US
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has been included in England's 36-man summer tour squad, despite being suspended for the first two matches.
Hooker Jamie George and five-eighth George Ford will co-captain the group, which contains 10 uncapped players, for two Tests against Argentina and one against the United States.
Exeter wing Feyi-Waboso was sent off for a high tackle on Antoine Hastoy in the first half of Saturday's 26-24 loss to a France XV on his first appearance since suffering a dislocated shoulder in December.
Due to his ban, the 22-year-old will been unavailable for the matches against Los Pumas on July 5 and 12 in La Plata and San Juan respectively.
Subject to completing a tackle course, Feyi-Waboso, who has scored five tries in eight international caps, will return to contention for the clash with the US on July 19 in Washington DC.
Joe Carpenter, Seb Atkinson, Guy Pepper and Oscar Beard, who were involved in the non-capped contest with France, are joined in the squad by fellow potential Test debutants Charlie Atkinson, Arthur Clark, Emmanuel Iyogun, Will Muir, Luke Northmore and Max Ojomoh.
"For some of the younger players, this will be their first experience of touring overseas with England. Travelling together helps strengthen team bonds and offers a valuable chance for new players to integrate into our environment," said head coach Steve Borthwick.

Wallaby war hero's name to live on after Lions make trophy change
The Tom Richards Cup, which has been contested between the Wallabies and the British and Irish Lions since 2001, has been retired and will be replaced next month by a perpetual trophy created by the Lions on their 2021 tour of South Africa. But Richards, the Gallipoli hero and Olympic gold medallist who is the only Australian-born person to play for both the Wallabies and the Lions, will still be commemorated in next month's three-Test series, with a new Tom Richards Medal to be awarded to the player of the series. The change has the potential to be controversial given the Richards' extraordinary life, and the fact the Wallabies and Lions have already played for the Tom Richards Cup twice, in 2001 and 2013. But the family of Richards have given their blessing, and three generations of Richards' descendants last week posed with Rugby Australia boss Phil Waugh at the SCG with Richards' war medal, Test caps and Olympic medal as a gesture of support. 'It's really nice and we're really thrilled that they're able to keep his name alive by doing it this way,' Paul Menck, who is Richards' great-grandson, said. Tom 'Rusty' Richards was born as a son of poor gold miners in Charters Towers, in rural Queensland, and debuted for the Wallabies on a 1908 tour of the UK. That trip also saw Australia win an Olympic gold medal, with Richards scoring a try in the victory over a Cornwall side. The Times wrote that if a world team had to be selected to play against Mars, Richards 'would be the first player chosen'. Richards subsequently went to work in South Africa, and when the British Lions toured there in 1910 and suffered multiple injuries, the flanker was drafted in to become a Lion - being eligible via a previous stint of playing for Bristol.
