Head coach Mark Mapletoft has confirmed his matchweek squad for England Men A’s encounter with Australia A this Sunday (17th, 14:00 kick-off) at the Twickenham Stoop. Bath Rugby prop and recent World Rugby U20 Championship winner, Vilikesa Sela, has left the squad through injury and will return to his club to rehabilitate. Full Bath Rugby injury update [here](https://www.bathrugby.com/content/injury-update-following-premiership-rugby-cup-round-2). Gloucester Rugby’s Arthur Clark, Hugh Tizard of Saracens and Bath Rugby’s Will Muir have been added to the squad to face Rod Seib’s side. Muir was a try scorer in February when England A made its return after eight years in a 91-5 victory over Portugal. Mapletoft has also invited former U20 Men’s players Tarek Haffar (Northampton Saints) and Sean Kerr (Harlequins), as well as current U20 Elite Player Squad members Tom Burrow (Sale Sharks), Charlie Griffin (Bath Rugby) and Angus Hall (Saracens), to train with the team. The squad assemble at the Hazelwood Centre today (12th) to begin preparations for the fixture later this week, with training also set to take place at Richmond Athletic Ground. Tickets start from only £25 for adults & £15 for kids (U16)\* for England Men A's meeting against Australia A.
