England Counties will travel to play Scotland Club XV and host France Federale XV this season ahead of their summer tour to Canada.
The Counties easily defeated their Scottish counterparts in the first meeting between the sides at Fylde last season and they will meet again at Netherdale in Galashiels on February 26.
They will then host France Federale at Blackheath’s Rectory Field ground on March 11 after two consecutive away fixtures against the French.
The Counties squad for both of this season’s matches will be selected from players who pay for club in National One and National Two North and South.
