FOUR Worcester Warriors youngsters have been included in James Cooper's England U18 Six Nations squad ahead of the first two games this weekend. 

England will face Wales (April 7, 10 AM) and Scotland (April 7, 11 AM) back-to-back in two 35-minute matches at Wellington College as the tournament gets underway. 

Worcester's Lucy Calladine, Natalee Evans, Haineala Lutui and Sarah Parry are all involved in the day's play. 

Hooker Calladine and centre Parry start for England in the first match against their Welsh counterparts, whilst Lutui - the daughter of Worcester Warriors legend Aleki Lutui - (number eight) and Natalee Evans (outside-centre) start against Scotland. 

The format for the competition is different to the senior game. The festival, which is being hosted by England for the first time, is running from 7 – 15 April at Wellington College. The England side will play five fixtures across three match days.

Teams will play four 35-minute fixtures across the first two match days followed by one full 70-minute fixture on the final match day.

England's fixture list: 

England v Wales – Friday, 7 April – KO 10:00

Scotland v England – Friday, 7 April – KO 11:00

Ireland v England – Tuesday, 11 April – KO 11:00

Ahead of the tournament getting underway, coach Cooper said: "Congratulations to all players selected. Competing in a Six Nations tournament – at any level – is a prestigious achievement that these young women should be proud of.

"The squad has trained consistently well since we came together as a group last year and they put in an excellent performance against Wales last month. But we also know the team we face in the tournament opener won’t be the same as the one we beat at Rugby School, so the girls need to be at their best on Friday.

"Five matches across three match days is a unique challenge and so the coaching staff and I have selected a side to face Wales that we feel will get our tournament off to a good start and then another to continue that against Scotland. Every fit player is starting in one of these opening two games. The players have prepared well, they’re hungry for it, they’re ready."
