Five Falcons in England training squad
Pictured from left to right, winger Adam Radwan, back-five forward Sean Robinson, prop Trevor Davison, No 8 Callum Chick and hooker Jamie Blamire are all called up, with none of the five having previously been capped by England.
Chick and Blamire have England honours at Under-20s level, Davison has played for England Counties and Robinson for England Students, while Radwan has represented England 7s.
Newcastle Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards said: “It’s great for the lads to receive this recognition, and I’m delighted for all of them.
“Along with our other squad members this season they have put in a huge effort to earn this selection, and I’m sure they will all give fantastic accounts of themselves when they join up with the squad for their training camp.”
England head coach Eddie Jones said: “This is the first squad of three and we’ll include players from the other clubs where appropriate, when they become available. We’ve also given some of our senior players the chance to get some important rest and recovery time after back-to-back seasons, and with no proper pre-season.
“For this group it’s a chance to come into the England environment and really show what they can do. We expect them to be enthusiastic, full of energy and we want them to know there is no limit to their horizon.
“There is a lot of talent in this squad but the challenge for them is to turn talent into performance. We’re really looking forward to working with this group of young players and see where we can take them. They have the opportunity to take on the world.”
