Six Tigers included in England mini-camp squad

Ollie Chessum, Nic Dolly, Ellis Genge, Joe Heyes, Jack van Poortvliet and Freddie Steward have been included in an England Rugby training squad for a mini-camp next week with the national side.

The six Leicester Tigers will link up with international team-mates in Richmond from Sunday, May 22 - Tuesday, May 24 as preparations commence ahead of the summer fixture against The Barbarians and tour of Australia.

Genge, who was appointed vice-captain of the national side this season, is approaching 40 Test appearances. 

Chessum and Dolly received their Test caps during the current season, while Heyes and Steward were capped last summer for the first time.

Scrum-half van Poortvliet is yet to make his senior Test debut after representing England at age-grade levels.
