With Nowell likely to keep his spot in the XV for Englands autumn series opener against South Africa on November 12, we look at the contenders who will be hoping to fill the now vacant berth on the other flank.Semesa RokoduguniThe Bath man is arguably the form winger in the Aviva Premiership. He has a sole England cap to his name but is back in the Test mix and is perhaps the favourite to fill the void left by his team-mate Watson.There have been question marks over his defence in the past but he has seemingly worked on that area and is superb heading forward.Marland YardeThe Harlequins winger started Englands first Test in Australia but was then dropped for the following two matches.Jones is a fan of him and references Yardes dart round Richie McCaw in Englands 2014 Test in New Zealand but he is yet to hit top form this season.?Mike BrownBrowns home has been at fullback for England but he has operated on the wing in the past. If England are to favour a more aerial game against their four opponents in November, then Browns skills under the high ball may come in usee.ddddddddddddThe shift of Brown to the wing would also give England the chance to run the rule over Alex Goode at fullback but Jones may opt for continuity in that position rather than shifting around his whole back three. This is a more unlikely solution. ?Jonny MayMay last played in January when he picked up a serious knee injury which put paid to his chances of making an immediate impact under Jones at a time when he was favourite to start on the flank in his maiden Six Nations.He is a lethal finisher but will need to prove his fitness, and quickly, ahead of the autumn Tests with Gloucester hopeful he will be back in training within the fortnight.?Elliot DalyThe Wasps back is usually found at outside centre but could be utilised as an option on the flank. Versatility works in his favour but would likely be lower down the pecking order than more natural wingers.Christian WadeThe uncapped Wade said last month he was baffled by his lack of opportunities at Test level but he is continuing to impress in the Premiership. He has four tries to his name and is flourishing for table-topping Wasps. ' ' '
