Figure image
England have named two Leicester Tigers players in their squad for next weekend's Under 18 international against Australian Schools.

Charlie Walker and George Ford, who became Tigers’ youngest player when he made his debut against Leeds Carnegie in the LV= Cup last month, have been named in the 23-man group.

England are unbeaten at this level in 17 games – 12 of them internationals – since an 11-3 defeat in their last meeting with Australia in the summer of 2007. They take on the tourists at Sale FC's Heywood Road ground on Sunday, December 13 (2pm).
