England Under-18s have named two Leicester Tigers in their matchday squad to face Ireland in the final of the FIRA/AER European Championship in Wrni, Poland, on Saturday (3.30pm BST).

Thacker, man of the match against Wales in the semi-final, said: “We had a good team run and everything’s been going according to plan – we just need to deliver on the pitch against the Irish.

“We’ve spoken about the guys that have played in the shirt before us, but it’s up to us to go out there and put in a good performance.”
