England's future rugby stars are set to be put through their paces at Teddington's Lensbury Club this week.

Head Coach Eddie Jones' 34-player squad are staying for a five-day training camp at the riverside venue before their two games in July against the USA and Canada at Twickenham stadium.

With 12 English players involved in the British and Irish Lions squad and the Gallagher Premiership semi-finalists (Bristol Bears, Exeter Chiefs, Harlequins and Sale Sharks) unavailable for selection, Jones has named 21 uncapped players.

Jones loves Teddington and can occasionally be seen dining with his coaches at the King's Head in the High Street.

He said: "This is the first squad of three and we'll include players from the other clubs where appropriate, when they become available.

"We've also given some of our senior players the chance to get some important rest and recovery time after back-to-back seasons, and with no proper pre-season.

"For this group it's a chance to come into the England environment and really show what they can do.

"We expect them to be enthusiastic, full of energy and we want them to know there is no limit to their horizon.

"There is a lot of talent in this squad but the challenge for them is to turn talent into performance.

"We're really looking forward to working with this group of young players and see where we can take them. They have the opportunity to take on the world."

Following the final, Jones will further update his squad for England's two Test matches in July - USA on Sunday 4 July (2pm KO), and Canada on Saturday 10 July (3pm KO).

All three matches will be shown live on Channel 4.
