Curtis Langdon, Beno Obano, Paul Hill, Callum Chick, Lewis Ludlam, Dan Robson, George Furbank and Joe Marchant make up the finishers.
Jones said: “Our focus this camp is being as strong a 36-player squad as we can be and there has been a lot of hard work and intense competition.
“There is a responsibility on the 23 players selected to perform to their personal best.
“We want to go out there and put smiles on the faces of all the supporters watching at Twickenham and at home on Channel 4.”
