Bath Rugby’s Orlando Bailey will remain at his club to rehabilitate an injury sustained in a Premiership Rugby Cup match on Saturday against Bristol Bears.  

Jamie Shillcock (Leicester Tigers) has been called into the squad as a replacement following on from a 21-point contribution to Tigers’ recent Premiership Rugby Cup victory over Coventry RFC. Shillcock earned two appearances in England A’s 2024 fixtures against Portugal and Australia A.  

Blackett has also invited four new players to train with the side: Guy Pepper, who started in last year’s victory over Portugal, is joined by Bath Rugby club mate Mackenzie Graham. Northampton Saints backs Rafe Witheat and Billy Pascoe will also link up with the squad this week.
