Settle’s Chris Walker has been named in the England Under-18 rugby union side that will take part in a four-team tournament in South Africa this month.

The Leeds Carnegie flanker is part of a squad that will face South Africa, France and a Namibia Invitation XV in the space of eight days in Port Elizabeth, George and East London.

England have recorded 18 successive international victories at this level – including three successive Grand Slams – since their fixtures were expanded in 2007.
