Senior quarter heading to Junior World Championships

Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

Scrum-half Alex Day, prop Danny Hobbs-Awoyemi, fly half Will Hooley and centre Tom Stephenson all saw action during England's successful Grand Slam campaign and will be trying to emulate their predecessors in helping the squad reach the tournament final at least.

England face hosts France, reigning champions South Africa and debutants USA in their three pool matches, with all three being played in La Roche sur Yon, between Nantes and La Rochelle. All of the matches will also be shown live on Sky Sports.

"We enjoyed a good Six Nations and on the back of that, competition for places has been high and some good players have missed out," said head coach Nick Walshe. "However, we're very pleased with the 28 selected. The games come thick and fast in this tournament, we've got a very tough group but we're excited by that challenge."
