Danny Walker, Josh Thewlis, Matty Nicholson and Ellis Longstaff in the squad. Which suggests that Matty Ashton will be in the England squad unless he's injured.

And Bateman which shows what a joke the whole disciplinary process is.

Glad Walker is in there. Despite none of our players having what you could call a decent season, being called up will be good for their development. Walker seems popular with the international coaching setup, which is a good sign, as we've come to rely on Clark's longevity and his ability to do the full 80. It will be nice if there's a simple transition to another decent hooker once he eventually moves on.

Ashton ankle op. Back for pre-season.

Wardle in squad now.
