LONDON (Reuters) - Mike Brown was the most high-profile absentee from a 25-man squad named by England coach Eddie Jones on Tuesday for Saturday's Twickenham test against South Africa.

Brown, 33, has been a regular under Jones, usually at fullback but playing on the wing with some success in the June tour of South Africa. However, he was not among the group of 25 who will remain in a training camp in Portugal.
