It's a super seven for Saints in England squad as Lockett gets call ahead of Fiji clash
Saints lock Tom Lockett has been called into the England squad for Saturday's Quilter Nations Series clash with Fiji at Twickenham.
Red Rose head coach Steve Borthwick has drafted Lockett into the set-up ahead of the weekend encounter, lifting the Saints contingent up to seven.
Lockett linked up with the 36-man squad at Pennyhill Park on Sunday, joining fellow Saints Alex Coles, Fraser Dingwall, Tommy Freeman, Alex Mitchell, Henry Pollock and Fin Smith.
They all featured in the 25-7 win over Australia on Saturday, with Pollock and Mitchell both scoring tries.
Lockett's inclusion is his second call to the England senior set-up having been called into a senior training camp in June.
England take on Fiji on Saturday afternoon, with kick-off at 5.40pm.
Meanwhile, Saints trio Emmanuel Iyogun, Tom Pearson and Archie McParland have all been named in the England Men’s A squad ahead of their clash with a New Zealand XV in Bath on Sayurday (ko 1.15pm).
