Tigers trio Tom Collett, Greig Tonks and Ben Youngs have been named in a 32-man squad who will contest four games over three weeks, including a match against the Australian Schools at Ballymore in Brisbane.
They will be primarily based at the Sydney Academy of Sport and will play the Northern Territory Institute of Sport, New South Wales Combined High Schools and Australian Schools 'A' in development games before taking on Australia Schools in an international test match at the end of the tour.
The squad is comprised predominantly of this year's England U-18s Six Nations side that defeated France, Scotland and Ireland. Only a narrow defeat to Wales saw England fail to complete a clean sweep. The squad also includes four players from the successful England U-16s squad, which won the Four Nations tournament in April.
Conor O'Shea, director of the Rugby Football Union's National Academy, said: "This is a tremendous development opportunity for some of our best young players and it will allow them to gain experience in a different environment and to test themselves against their southern-hemisphere counterparts at an early stage in their development. I am sure we will be seeing a number of these players in the years to come both within the Guinness Premiership and in the international arena."
