ENGLAND under 18s have named four Worcester Warriors forwards in a 26-man squad for their three-match tour of South Africa in August.

They face South Africa Schools on Friday, August 11, in Cape Town before a match against Wales four days later.

England then finish their campaign against France on Saturday, August 19, in Stellenbosch.

They will be boosted by the experience of forwards Ted Hill from Warriors and Worcester Sixth Form College, Sam Moore and Tom Willis who all featured in last year’s tour to South Africa.

Hill and Harlequins fly-half Marcus Smith also received England under 20 caps in this year’s Six Nations.

Warriors' forwards Beck Cutting from Bromsgrove School, James Scott from Malvern College and Nick Rigby from Warwick School are also in the squad.

Coached by John Fletcher, Russell Earnshaw, Mark Luffman and Peter Walton England have enjoyed an impressive season so far, winning all of their games in April’s International Series in Wales.

Head coach Fletcher said: “The tour is a fantastic opportunity for these players to play in the southern hemisphere in a challenging environment.

"On the field I want to see us improve in each game. We are in our off-season and lots of the boys will not have had much rugby so it will take a bit of time to get them back up to speed."
