Ainsworth-Cave, Scola and Jonny Weimann are among the previously capped squad members.
Andy Titterrell’s side open their season with a warm-up fixture against Bath United on Saturday 24 January at The Recreation Ground, before their Under 20 Men’s Six Nations Round 1 meeting with Wales at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens, Northampton on Friday 6 February (kick-off: 7.45pm) – tickets are available by clicking HERE.
“As a squad, we’re looking forward to setting the tone for the campaign and starting our journey together in Portugal this week,” Titterrell said.
“Our objectives this season are to embrace the mindset of getting better, supporting each other in a high-performance environment and earning the right to achieve top honours. Most importantly, we want to build connections on and off the field, between coaches and players, in an open and honest environment.
“Building towards the Six Nations campaign is an exciting prospect for all involved. Recent years have seen some of the best attended England U20 fixtures in over a decade and we aim to grow the rose with strong performances and player development.”
