The match-day squad of 25 features 19 new caps including seven new faces in the pack with captain Joe Makin the only forward previously capped for England Counties.

The first match of the tour follows the culmination of the Bill Beaumont County Championship finals held last weekend with Long previously saying of the tour: "Representing your country is an unforgettable experience and for many of the players involved on the tour it will be the pinnacle of their rugby careers."

England Counties is the flagship team of the community game in England and offers players from National League One and below the opportunity to represent their country.
