Warriors captain Ted Hill has been named in a 36-man England squad to prepare for next Sunday’s match against the Barbarians at Twickenham.
Hill, who led Warriors to the Premiership Rugby Cup last month, was involved in a three-day England training camp at the Lensbury Club last week and has now been named in a squad that assembled at the Honda England Rugby Performance Centre at Pennyhill Park this evening.
The Barbarians’ match forms a key part of England Head Coach Eddie Jones’ side’s preparation for their upcoming tour of Australia. England will play three Tests against the Wallabies in Perth (July 2), Brisbane (July 9) and Sydney (July 16).
“This is a strong, diverse squad. There are a lot of exciting, young players and some experienced players who have another opportunity to shine,” Jones said.
“Everyone will be given the chance to make their case for being part of the Australia tour squad while we prepare for the Barbarians.
“The Barbarians game at Twickenham is always a great rugby occasion and we know the fans always have a great day out, watching a really entertaining game.
“We’re looking forward to working hard on the training pitch this week so we’re ready for a fantastic match on Sunday.”
