Five Exeter Chiefs youngsters have been included in the England under-20s squad for the IRB Junior World Championships in France in June.
Former Crediton centre Sam Hill is part of the 28-man squad for the second tournament running, after last summer's event in South Africa.
He is joined by Sandy Park colleagues Henry Slade and Luke Cowan-Dickie, who were also part of England's squad in the 2012 competition.
Jack Nowell, who has broken into the Chiefs' first team in the last few months, and teenage flanker Joel Conlon are set to make their debuts in the Junior World Championships.
With former England under-20s head coach Rob Hunter now part of the Chiefs' coaching staff, the squad will be looked after by Nick Walshe and Ian Peel.
Head coach Walshe said: "We enjoyed a good Six Nations and on the back of that, competition for places has been high and some good players have missed out. However, we're very pleased with the 28 selected. The games come thick and fast in this tournament, we've got a very tough group but we're excited by that challenge."
England open their campaign against hosts France on June 5, then face title-holders South Africa on June 9 before taking on the USA in their final pool game on June 13. All the group matches take place in La Roche sur Yon.
However they get on in the group, all countries will face knock-out matches on June 18 and June 23 to determine their final placing.
Walshe added: "All our attention is on that first game against the French, we did well against them in the Six Nations but this will be a totally different game. It's one we're looking forward to."
