Two North Midlands players have been included in the England Under-16 team for their only international of the season against Wales at Ystrad Mynach on April 17 (2.30pm).
Loosehead prop Tom Furnival (Ellesmere College) and centre Oliver Lawrence (Old Swinford Hospital School) were named in the starting XV after impressing playing for the Worcester Warriors Academy at the recent Wellington Festival in Berkshire.
They will link up with the England squad in Bristol on April 15 for two days of training ahead of the international which will be played at the Welsh Centre for Sporting Excellence.
