England have called up Charlie Bracken and Will Porter to their four-day training camp ahead of their upcoming tour.

This is the first call-up to the senior squad for 21-year-old Bracken, son of 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Kryan, after representing England Under-20s.

Meanwhile, Harlequins' Porter has proved his quality for England A and has been rewarded with a spot in this training camp.

Coach Steve Borthwick called up the scrum-half players after losing a few options in the position.

Alex Mitchell has been selected for the British and Irish Lions squad, while Jack van Poortvliet and Ben Spencer are preparing for the Premiership final between Leicester and Bath.

Bristol scrum-half Harry Randall is still injured but full-back George Furbank will be with the squad.

Furbank suffered a concussion in the Champions Cup final last month but will continue his rehabilitation in the England camp.

England will play a France XV in a non-cap match at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium on June 21 before a two-Test tour of Argentina and one-off match against the United States.
