Dan Cole, Joe Heyes, George Martin, Guy Porter, Jack van Poortvliet, Freddie Steward, Anthony Watson and Ben Youngs have been included in the England Rugby training squad.

The eight Leicester Tigers will link up with international team-mates in Brighton for England’s second Rugby World Cup preparation camp.

The squad does not include players from Premiership finalists Sale Sharks and Saracens.

“After an excellent first week’s training, we are very much looking forward to being in Brighton,” said Borthwick. “We’re pleased to welcome players from Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers who can now start to integrate themselves into the group, and we look forward to players from Sale Sharks and Saracens joining us in a fortnight.
