Luke Cowan-Dickie, a prop forward who plays for the Pirates U16s and is a pupil at Mounts Bay School, has this week been selected in the 26-player England U16s squad that will prepare for this season's Four Nations Tournament to be hosted by Wales.

England U16s will face hosts Wales, France and Italy in matches to be played from 9-15th April at venues yet to be confirmed.

Luke's final selection follows a development camp held in half-term week at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire, and a practice match won 42-10 against a Saracens Academy U17s side.

Selected in the England U16s 'A' squad is flanker Henry Conchie, from Truro School and Penryn.

England A will participate in the Millfield School Festival in April, when matches are to be played against Scotland U17s, Portugal U17s, and France U16s A.
