Falcons trio named in England Under-20s squad
The camp takes place at Loughborough University from Friday November 30 to Sunday December 2 and will give pathway coaches an opportunity to assess players further ahead of the Under-20 Elite Player Squad selection in January.
Scrum-half Nordli-Kelemeti and back-rower Marshall have already made their Falcons first team debuts in the Premiership Rugby Cup despite only finishing school in the summer.
Full-back Hodge has joined them in the senior academy and shown up well in Premiership Rugby Shield action, as well as starring for Northumbria University.
England Under-20s head coach Steve Bates said: “The development camp gives us an opportunity to cover some basic details with a larger number of players who could all be required at various points during the Six Nations.
“It also gives us a chance to look closely at the wider group and players outside of the 32-man EPS who might be used during the international season.
“We’ve selected the training squad through a combined effort of working with the academy management and watching the players over the past few months.
“We want the players to have high energy, a desire to play the game quickly and with a degree of flexibility. We’d like them to quickly adapt to playing with new players and to have different ideas about how to play.
“It will also be the first time we’ve had the opportunity to work with the new coaches and they have played a full part in the planning of the sessions, the technical aspects of how we want to play as well as the delivery of this camp.”
