Harlequins pair Rob Buchanan and Sam Stuart have been selected in in the U19 England Academies squad facing France Academies at Newbury on Saturday (noon).
The academies side forms a development and selection bridge between the England U18 and U20 international set-ups and this weekend's 22-man squad includes players capped at both levels.
Hooker Buchanan and scrum-half Stuart also featured in the U20 RBS 6 Nations campaign.
They are joined by this season's England U18 captain and fly half George Ford (Leicester Tigers) and number eight Matt Kvesic (Worcester Warriors) who step up after the side completed a third successive Grand Slam earlier this month.
There are also three backs with famous names involved.
Centre Guy Armitage (London Irish) is bidding to follow in the footsteps of his brothers, England full-back Delon and flanker Steffon.
Another centre, Owen Farrell (Saracens), capped at U18 level last season, is the son of former England centre and Great Britain rugby league great Andy Farrell, while wing Manu Tuilagi (Leicester Tigers) is one of six brothers who have been involved with the Welford Road club.
