Centre Rekeiti Ma’asi-White is one of eight Sharks players who will report for England duty this week after Steve Borthwick named a 33-player squad for a two-day training camp.
It’s a first senior international call-up for the 22-year-old who captained England at U20 level and has been a fixture in the Sharks midfield during the Gallagher Premiership run-in.
Joe Carpenter, Tom Roebuck, Bevan Rodd, Ben Curry, George Ford, Asher Opoku-Fordjour and Raffi Quirke will also meet up for the camp at the Honda England Rugby Performance Centre at Pennyhill Park.
The squad does not include players selected for The British & Irish Lions, nor players from Northampton Saints and Bath Rugby, who are preparing for European fixtures this weekend.
The camp forms part of the preparations for the upcoming match between an England XV and a France XV at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday 21 June (kick-off 3.15pm). Tickets are available from £25. For more information and to book, visit: www.englandrugby.com/xvtickets
