Scrum-halves Charlie Bracken and Will Porter have been named in an England training squad for a four-day camp, while Northampton full-back George Furbank will continue his rehabilitation from concussion as part of the get-together at Pennyhill Park.

Saracens Bracken - the eldest son of 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Kyran - is in the senior squad for the first time after representing England Under-20s and spending part of this season on loan at Championship side Ampthill.

The 21-year-old is yet to make a Premiership start, having mainly acted as back-up to South African Ivan van Zyl.

Harlequins Porter, 26, has been rewarded for his impressive form for England A with a chance to work with the senior squad.

Coach Steve Borthwick is without several scrum-half options, with first-choice Alex Mitchell selected for the British and Irish Lions while Leicesters Jack van Poortvliet and Baths Ben Spencer are preparing for Saturdays Premiership final and Bristols Harry Randall is injured.

Northamptons 22-year-old second row Tom Lockett - who has played alongside Bracken at age-grade level and Porter during the second-strings win over Ireland in February - is included along with Bristol prop George Kloska.

With Jamie George helping the Lions prepare for the tour of Australia that Luke Cowan-Dickie has been selected for, Northamptons Curtis Langdon, Bristols Gabriel Oghre and Saracens Theo Dan are named as hookers.

Furbank was forced off early in Northamptons Champions Cup final defeat by Bordeaux-Begles last month after being concussed.

He has had a season interrupted by injury after fracturing his arm in a win over South Africas Bulls in December that meant he missed the 2025 Six Nations.

Exeter wing Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, who has not played since suffering a shoulder dislocation in December, will also use the camp to work his way back to match fitness.

England will play a France XV in a non-cap match at Twickenhams Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 21 June before the final touring party is named for the summers two-Test tour of Argentina and one-off match against the United States in Washington.
