England add the finalists

 

As well as the Premiership finalists Lancaster has brought in Bath Rugby’s Anthony Watson and Harlequins’ Kyle Sinckler, who will fly out and arrive in Auckland on Wednesday. 

 

England Head Coach Lancaster said: “We are looking forward to the guys flying in and adding to the group."

 

"We watched the Premiership final and the England XV game against the Barbarians and are pleased with how the players performed and came through. 

 

"There are no major injuries which would prevent anyone flying and, with four big games to come, we are confident there will be opportunities for everyone on the tour.

 

"It is great to be able to work with a wider group and we feel that the younger players will really benefit from the experience of coming to New Zealand, understanding the culture and challenging themselves in this the most competitive of environments."

 

England squad additions: Chris Ashton, Brad Barritt, Luther Burrell, Lee Dickson, Owen Farrell, Ben Foden, Alex Goode, Dylan Hartley, Courtney Lawes, Stephen Myler, Kyle Sinckler, Billy Vunipola, Alex Waller, Anthony Watson, Richard Wigglesworth, Tom Wood.
