Bath flanker Guy Pepper has been named in England’s 36-player training squad for their match against a France XV at Allianz Stadium Twickenham on Saturday.
The 22-year-old, who has trained with England in the past, was player of the match as Bath beat Leicester 23-21 on Saturday to lift their first Premiership title in 29 years.
Although Bath flanker Sam Underhill has been selected, he is serving the final match of a four-game ban for a dangerous tackle.
Ben Curry, Fraser Dingwall, George Furbank and Harry Randall are undergoing rehabilitation programmes with the national team.
Players selected for the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia have not been included.
