Leicester Tigers full-back Greig Tonks has been drafted into the Under-20 Elite Player Squad ahead of this season's Under-20 Six Nations.

Tonks joins Tigers teammates Tom Collett, Will Hurrell and Ben Youngs in the 32-man group.

Academy graduate Tonks, who has been on loan at Nottingham this season, is one of four changes to the squad for the games in February and March.

England Under-20 coach Mark Mapletoft said: “The four guys coming in deserve their chance and we’re expecting a lot from them.

“The challenge now is for them to push for places in the 22 and into the starting team as well.”

England begin their Under-20 Six Nations campaign against Italy at Worcester Warrior’s Sixways Stadium on February 6 (kick-off 8pm).
