Pace? Check. Power? Check. Can drive a tank? Better believe it, he can do that as well.

Numerous individuals may not be acquainted with Semesa Rokoduguni yet, yet that looks set to change after the electric Bath winger was called into the England squad for the November Tests.

The Fiji-conceived Army warrior is joined by Saracens lock George Kruis as another face in the squad, however it is the Bath sparkler who truly sets the beat dashing.

The 27-year-old has played outstandingly well both last season and toward the begin of this.

He is up there as far as protectors beaten and tries scored, and when you have made to the extent that an effect as he has, you would be frustrated to be disregarded.

Lowdown on Semesa Rokoduguni

Conceived: 28 August, 1987 in Nausori, Fiji

Occupation: Lance Corporal in the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards & proficient rugby player

Club: Bath - Debut in Nov 2012 v Newport Gwent Dragons. Scored two tries

Appearances: 29 Points: 55 Tries: 11

Played one amusement for England Saxons v Scotland An; once for England in non-top diversion v Barbarians

Players need to play so well that you simply need to pick them and Rokoduguni has done that - a percentage of the tries he has scored have been electrifying.

Since he joined Bath, the 6ft wing has put on near two stones in weight and now weighs in excess of 16. Regardless he appears to be identical however to pack on that body mass and stay pretty much as speedy is uplifting news.

He can keep up his pace in excess of 60 meters and also 30 meters, not at all like a few wingers, however his genuine X-variable is his capacity to knock players off and ride handles, and still keep up his pace.

He additionally appears to escape from some outlandish circumstances - I was at the Bath v Leicester diversion this season and thought he was going to run himself into inconvenience in the Bath 22 however he turned around, got through the guard and off he went. Very few players could have done that.

It will be intriguing perceiving how he fits into the England camp and style - yet there's most likely he's earned the right to be there.

Is Cipriani unfortunate to pass up a major opportunity?

Danny Cipriani had a good New Zealand visit yet the opposition at fly-half is exceptionally solid

I don't think its a shock Danny Cipriani has not been named in the squad as it was continually going to be one of those extreme calls - fly-half is an exceptionally aggressive POSITION.

While the SALE player went on New Zealand visit and surely didn't do himself any mischief, George Ford has returned after his operation in the mid year and has been generally extraordinary for Bath.

Northampton's Stephen Myler has been in great structure and Owen Farrell is right now Lancaster's go-to man at 10, so despite the fact that he's been out for a couple of weeks the Saracens player was continually going to be in.

Cipriani, 26, would have needed to have blasted on to the scene this season - much like Rokoduguni - to have made the squad on Wednesday.

Furthermore how about we not overlook Freddie Burns. He had an outstanding first Test in the late spring, when Cipriani was on the seat.

England's pre-winter internationals (all times GMT)

Saturday 8 November 14:30 - England v New Zealand

Saturday 15 November 14:30 - England v South Africa

Saturday 22 November 19:00 - England v Samoa

Saturday 29 November 14:30 - England v Australia

Regardless of what structure Burns has show for Leicester this season - and he has been a bit unpredictable - he's indicated he can play worldwide level. Cipriani is not as settled as Burns has been in Stuart Lancaster's camp.

It is broadly felt that Burns and Cipriani were COMPETING with Myler for the third compartment in the squad.

Myler, 30, may fail to offer the fireworks with ball under control of the two men on the outside of the 33-man squad, yet his kicking is extremely robust, he has all the earmarks of being genuinely unflappable as player, he can execute strategies and method viably, does all the nuts and bolts well and he's not an enormous danger taker.

I think he's a giving player, a facilitator, yet a shrewd one. He's played well over the previous year or two and been reliably above normal.

Shouldn't something be said about the focuses without Manu?

Jonathan Joseph blasts between Saracens advances James Johnston and Kelly Brown

Jonathan Joseph (focus) is no place close as large as Tuilagi - yet he is snappy, tricky and skilful

England are missing harmed Leicester focus Manu Tuilagi (each of the 6ft 1in and 17st 9lb of him) - despite the fact that for to what extent for stays questionable - and he has been supplanted by Jonathan Joseph.

The Bath focus' certainty has expanded this season and his association with Kyle Eastmond - who is likewise in the squad - has thrived.

JJ is re-making himself as an unmistakable absolute outside focus and he is a demonstrated attempt scorer playing inside England's back three, yet he weighs getting on for four stone short of what Tuilagi.

Luther Burrell is closer to Tuilagi's size furthermore gets what's coming to him of tries yet is an inside focus typically, a POSITION as of now involved by Billy Twelvetrees for England.

I'm not certain what number of more OPPORTUNITIES Twelvetrees will get, despite the fact that Tuilagi's nonattendance helps him right now.

I think the middle association is liable to be Twelvetrees and Burrell, in spite of the fact that they may run with Eastmond and Burrell, or even Burrell and Joseph. In any case I'd be amazed if Saracens 12 Brad Barritt is picked in front of either Burrell or Eastmond to play at inside focus.

Chris Ashton is one of the huge name players who has not made the squad, and selectors don't choose to forget players suddenly, particularly when their have a go at scoring record is as splendid as Ashton's.
