Head Coach Rob Hunter has called on 15, including Clifford and Sinckler, players previously capped at this level.

Hunter said: "We're excited to work with the players in our squad. We have some guys back who played for us last season and five who played at Under 18 level last campaign.

"There are also a number of players who have shown up well for their clubs in pre-season. There is always huge competition at this age grade and a lot of players getting first team rugby at their clubs, it's tough to narrow that down and we expect players to continue to push for inclusion. It's an exciting, skilful and powerful group. Competition for places will be high, but that's just what you want."
