Speaking about the inclusion of the players, Tigers Academy head coach Matt Smith said: "It's great for these young lads to experience these camps and different environments."
"They have all worked hard with us and in their school programmes to develop and this is another step forward for them in their development and progress.
"We are excited for them to take part and bring back the experience and knowledge they gain during the England camps to our environment, which adds to our group and programme."
