England Training Squad Missing Lots Of Key Faces

While deserving of their places, both Porter and Bracken have benefited from limited availability of senior stars.

First-choice England No. 9 Alex Mitchell is part of the British and Irish Lions squad.

Bath’s Ben Spencer and Leicester’s Jack van Poortvliet are preparing for the Premiership Rugby final this weekend.

And Bristol Bears’ Harry Randall is out injured after his side lost to Bath in the semi-finals.

Regular hookers Jamie George and Luke Cowan-Dickie are also on Lions duty.

Although not included in the main tour party, Saracens stalwart George has been drafted in to help the squad prepare for their upcoming pre-tour game against Argentina.

Northampton’s Curtis Langdon joins Bristol’s Gabriel Oghre and Saracens’ Theo Dan as the hookers.

Exeter winger Immanuel Feyi-Waboso missed the Six Nations after dislocating his shoulder in December.

He returns to the squad and will continue to build towards match fitness.
