Uncapped Ed Slater will be Leicester Tigers' only representative on England's tour of Argentina this summer. The 24-year-old has been chosen as part of Stuart Lancaster's 32-man squad, which includes 11 players who could make their first appearance in national colours. Slater's call-up is just reward for an outstanding campaign which has seen him make 20 appearances and keep Graham Kitchener on the bench for much of the last two months. He is joined in the uncapped ranks by the likes of Calum Clark (Northampton Saints), Billy Vunipola (London Wasps), Kyle Eastmond (Bath Rugby), and Christian Wade (London Wasps). With six Leicester Tigers on the British & Irish Lions tour, England said that fly-half Toby Flood and centre Anthony Allen were being rested. Other Tigers who may have made the squad but were not included in the squad were Jordan Crane, Thomas Waldrom, Mat Tait and George Ford.
