Four Leicester Tigers players have been named in the England squad for this summer's IRB Junior World Championship.

England Under-20 head coach Mark Mapletoft has named backs Andrew Forsyth, Sam Harrison and Will Hurrell and forward Calum Green in his 26-man squad.

The tournament takes place in Argentina in June where England face the host nation, Ireland and France in the pool stage.

England have reached the last two JWC finals – where they were beaten both times by New Zealand.

Mapletoft said: "The group will be fascinating with three very difficult matches. We'll have to be very strong. Whoever wins our group will be really battle-hardened going into the semi finals."
