England U20 Men head coach Alan Dickens has named a 32-man squad to travel to Italy for the Six Nations U20 Summer Series.

The series provides an alternative to the postponed World Rugby U20 Championship, that will return in 2023.
Emeka Ilione, who has been capped six times at U20 level, will captain the side again having taken on role for the final two games of the Six Nations Championship against Ireland and France.
"We’ve had a productive time in camp in Newcastle over the past week, and two successful training games against Scotland that have provided great match play opportunities as we prepare for the summer series," said Dickens.
"We’ve got a great mix of players in the squad. Some with experience of playing at U20 level already and a number of players who are new to the squad. I’m really pleased with the way they are all supporting and learning from one another.
"We have challenging opposition in our pool games, against South Africa, France and Ireland. We’ve prepared well and the squad looks forward to the challenges an international series such as this provides."
