WORCESTER duo Sam Bree and Laura Keates have been named in the England women’s ‘A’ team to take on the Nomads at Esher on Saturday (2pm).
Wing Bree and loosehead prop Keates start the game, while Worcester colleague, fly-half Ceri Large, is among the replacements.
Second row Tamara Taylor, who featured for the full England side in last year’s Rugby World Cup, also starts.
Taylor works at Sixways in the Worcester Warriors community department but plays for Darlington Mowden Park Sharks.
Meanwhile, the Midlands launch this season’s RFUW divisional programme against the north at Longton RFC, Stoke, on Sunday.
Worcester centre Louise Dennis, wing Lydia Thompson, hooker Emily Hatherall and lock Jenny Brightmore all start.
