Eight Bath Rugby players selected for England training camp

Eight Bath Rugby players have been included in the England squad for their summer training camp.

Davey Wilson and summer signing Henry Thomas are two of three tighthead props selected by England head coach Stuart Lancaster, while hooker Rob Webber is also included in the front-row contingent.

Lock Dave Attwood is in the 55-man party while fly-half George Ford returns to the England fold after missing the summer tour of New Zealand to undergo a shoulder operation.

Centres Kyle Eastmond and Jonathan Joseph are also selected as is full-back/wing Anthony Watson.

Bath Academy ace Ollie Devoto will not join up with the camp due to injury.

The squad will undergo strength and conditioning assessment as well as rugby training before departing on Wednesday.

Lancaster said: "This camp will give us a chance to get the wider squad together and an opportunity to review the New Zealand tour.

"It will be an important few days for us in terms of complementing the work that the clubs have been doing in pre-season with their strength and conditioning but also from a rugby point of view. The next time we meet will be two weeks before we play New Zealand in the QBE Internationals so this time together is vital.

"In collaboration with Premiership Rugby we have been given the flexibility to announce the England Senior and Saxons squads in October, much closer to our four international matches in November. We appreciate their support of our proposal which enables time to assess the first part of the club season and therefore select players who are in form leading into an important series for us. It also allows an opportunity for players not involved in the training camp this week to put down a marker in terms of their performances ahead of the squad announcement."

A senior squad consisting of 33 players and a 32-man Saxons squad will be announced in October.
