WARRIORS trio Johnny Arr, Matt Cox and Greg King have been named in the England Under 19 squad for next Friday's clash with Italy.
Scrum-half Arr, flanker Cox and centre King are all part of the academy set-up at Sixways and will be hoping to win a place in Nigel Redman's starting line-up for the match at Sunbury (2.15pm).
"Obviously, we're delighted and very pleased for the lads," said academy manager An-drew Stanley. "They've worked hard and we hope they have a great experience. It reflects well on what we're doing here at Sixways."
England's meeting with Italy is the first of three warm-up matches for the IRB Under 19 World Championships in Northern Ireland.
They are seeded third in April's tournament after securing third place in Dubai last season, their best finish.
