ENGLAND Academy coach Andy Kelly has picked five Saints in the 37-man squad for their 2016 schedule which includes monthly training sessions, a home game against France in May and a month-long tour of Australia in July.

Kelly said: “A large squad was needed this year with the amount of sessions we have arranged and an important trip to Australia to take on some of the best Under-18s in the world.

“The last Academy tour to Australia was four years ago, so it’s an exciting time to be involved. In the months leading up to July this group will be working hard and proving themselves to the coaching staff that they should be the ones out there representing their country.”
