Director of Rugby Stuart Hooper, said: "We're proud and excited to see four of our Bath lads in Eddie Jones' matchday 23 for England's Calcutta Cup clash against Scotland in the Guinness Six Nations.

“It is great to see JJ back into the starting XV and having Sam in the mix again as England look to put things right this week.

“The hard work that the coaches have done to develop our young English players, in particular Mark Lilley and Luke Charteris, with their work with the forward pack this season. Their detail has been evident with the International call ups for Will Stuart and Tom Dunn.

“We are very proud of Will Stuart making his debut last week and hope he continues to pick up England caps.

“Tom Dunn has been very patient in waiting for his chance in the England set up and it will be brilliant to see him make his England debut this weekend.

“It’s going to be a promising weekend, with a number of our Bath players appearing for England and Wales in both the U20s and senior matches. It is a brilliant achievement for the Club, and we are all proud of them.”
