FLY-HALF Tim Streather and full-back Charlie Fellows have been picked for the Midlands Under 18 squad for the final divisional match of the season against the North at Castlecroft in Wolverhampton on Sunday (2pm) despite being promoted to the England Under 18 training squad.

Streather (Chase High School, Malvern and Worcester) and Fellows (King's School, Worcester and Worcester) impressed selectors in the Midlands' victory over the South West at Bridgwater three weeks ago.

Centre Andrew Robinson (Prince Henry's HS, Evesham and Worcester) also shone when he came on as a replacement against the South West and he has been given a final chance to impress the watching England selectors. Robinson will start against the North on Sunday.

Flanker Cameron Law (Old Swinford Hospital) and number eight James Ranson (King's School, Worcester and Worcester) have also been promoted to the starting line-up in a back-row reshuffle enforced by injury to Ian Saxelby and the unavailability of Joe Allen.

The other North Midlands player in the Midlands' starting XV is loose-head prop James Heath (Adams GS and Whitchurch).

Scrum-half Dan Matthews (Ellesmere College and Whitchurch), centre Tom Hupfield (Bromsgrove School) and full-back Michael Penn (Bromsgrove School) have all been named as replacements.

Apart from Streather and Fellows, five more North Midlands players have already been included in England's training squad to prepare for internationals in the Home Unions Tournament, which will be staged in Gloucestershire, and the AER Championships, which will be played in the Treviso region of Italy, both in April.

They are prop Joel Diggins (Bromsgrove School and Worcester), flanker Matt Cox (Worcester Warriors), fly-half George Crook (Bromsgrove School and Worcester), winger Miles Benjamin (King Edward's School, Birmingham) and hooker George Thomas (Bromsgrove School and Luctonians).

Meanwhile, scrum-half Ollie Frost (Bishop of Hereford Bluecoat School and Herefordshire) and lock Graham Kitchener (Adams GS and Shropshire) have been included a 25-strong England Under 16 senior squad. Frost and Kitchener will be preparing for England's senior internationals at this age group against Wales, twice, and Italy in April.

Number eight Luke Yarranton (Bishop of Hereford Bluecoat School and Herefordshire) has been included in an England Under 16 'A' squad ahead of the Millfield International Festival in Somerset from April 10 to 16. They will take on England 'B' and will also play their Welsh counterparts at Clifton on April 21.

The England Under 16 'B' squad includes hooker Sam Lewis (Ellesmere College and Shropshire), flanker Daniel Willis (Old Swinford Hospital School and Worcestershire) and full-back Louis Stelling (Old Swinford Hospital School and Worcestershire).

The squads were selected after a training camp at Hartpury College in Shropshire last week during which England were beaten 14-7 by Worcester Academy. England 'A' beat Hartpury College 14-3 and England 'B' tied 5-5 with Gloucester Under 17s.
