England have made three changes to the squad training for the Under 20 Six Nations international against Scotland on Friday night (7.30pm).

Worcester Warriors lock Graham Kitchener, Saracens centre Mike Stanley and London Wasps wing Mark Odejobi have been called up by coach Nigel Redman.

Saracens flanker Andy Saull and Gloucester wing Charlie Sharples stand down, leaving 23 players for Redman to select from for the game at Falkirk Stadium.

Kitchener and Stanley, both 18, toured Australia with England’s Under 18 side last summer.

Odejobi, who is 20 next Sunday, has also been capped at Under 16 and 18 levels and is currently on loan with National One side Henley.

The three players join an England side unbeaten in the Under 20 Six Nations following wins over Wales (28-15), Italy (22-13) and France (24-6).

After facing Scotland they tackle Ireland at Gloucester on Friday, March 14 (7.35pm).
