England have added three players to the Under 18 squad on duty in last Sunday's 43-22 win against Wales for the Five Nations Festival at Llandovery.

Flanker Sam Northcote-Green (Dulwich College & London Wasps), centre Tommy Bell (Bacup and Rawtenstall GS & Sale Sharks) come back into the group for the games against Scotland (Friday, April 2, 4pm) and Ireland (Tuesday, April 6, 2pm).

They are joined by fly half Tom Heathcote (Bishop Wordsworth's & Bath Rugby), who has been called up to cover some midfield injury doubts.

England extended their successful run at this level to 16 international victories since July 2007 at Swansea on Sunday with their fourth and largest win of the season.

Tries from Sam Twomey (2), Billy Vunipola and Elliott Daly were backed up by 23 points from captain George Ford, who kicked four conversions and five penalties.
