England Summer Squad
« on: June 10, 2021, 12:04:21 PM »
Eddie Jones has named a 34-player training squad as England begin preparations for their summer series.
England Senior Men
The squad will meet up at The Lensbury on Monday 14 June for a five-day training camp.

With 12 English players involved in the British & Irish Lions squad and the Gallagher Premiership semi-finalists: Bristol Bears, Exeter Chiefs, Harlequins and Sale Sharks unavailable for selection, Jones has named 21 uncapped players.

An updated squad will reconvene on Sunday 20 June, ahead of the England A fixture against Scotland A at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, Leicester (Sunday 27 June, 2pm KO). Premiership finalists will not be available for selection for this squad.

Following the final, Jones will further update his squad for England’s two Test matches at Twickenham Stadium in July - USA on Sunday 4 July (2pm KO), and Canada on Saturday 10 July (3pm KO). All three fixtures will be shown live on Channel 4.

"This is the first squad of three and we’ll include players from the other clubs where appropriate, when they become available," said Jones. "We’ve also given some of our senior players the chance to get some important rest and recovery time after back-to-back seasons, and with no proper pre-season."

"For this group it’s a chance to come into the England environment and really show what they can do. We expect them to be enthusiastic, full of energy and we want them to know there is no limit to their horizon.

"There is a lot of talent in this squad but the challenge for them is to turn talent into performance. We’re really looking forward to working with this group of young players and see where we can take them. They have the opportunity to take on the world."

Tickets for England A v Scotland A are available here.

Tickets for England v USA and England v Canada are available here.

And of course no Sarries players available.
bit of a shame really that a lot of players on that list will be relegated once those 5 teams players are available...

So did Nick Isiekwe piss on Jones' chips?

Out of all the 6's in the Prem that were available, he's surely the best. Better than Martin - who will flourish no doubt and equal to our own Brad S, who also must have voiced an unpopular opinion......

Really pleased for Tom and Josh in particular getting their first (I think) senior call up, hell of an achievement, well deserved. Glad that Umaga is still on the radar as well, this must be good for his confidence.

Surely Smith will come in once Quins are done with the playoffs.

Surprised and a little disappointed Charlie Atkinson didn't get a call up.

For me, he's not ready and there's other much more experienced but still young fly halves ahead of him, IMO

Charlie will probably be involved in the Under 20s 6 Nations, which takes place between 19th June to 13th July in Cardiff.
