Cumbrian hooker Jamie Blamire has made the cut for England's official Rugby World Cup training squad.
The Seaton star now has a further chance to push his claims for selection for the 33-strong squad that will go for glory in France.
Newcastle Falcons man Blamire has featured in previous training squads.
And head coach and fellow Cumbrian Steve Borthwick has given the 25-year-old the nod to remain part of the build-up.

Borthwick confirmed his 41-player squad today and they will meet on Sunday at The Lensbury, Teddington, for their first official training camp.
The final World Cup squad will be announced on August 7 ahead of the tournament which gets under way in September.
Borthwick has also called up Premiership finalists Tom Curry, Elliot Daly, Ben Earl, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Jamie George, Jonny Hill, Maro Itoje, Max Malins, Manu Tuilagi and former Sedbergh School boy Bevan Rodd after their mandatory rest period.
The squad includes five uncapped players in Cadan Murley, Tom Pearson, Theo Dan, Val Rapava-Ruskin and Tom Willis.
"We’re excited to be able to bring a full training squad together for the first time and focus on the next stage of our World Cup preparations," said Borthwick.
"I am pleased with the balance of the squad, which blends experience with youth.
"We hope today’s announcement is the start of something special for our supporters, who I know are eagerly anticipating the tournament as much as we are."
