Cumbrian Jamie Blamire has retained his place in the England squad as preparations continue for the Rugby World Cup.
The Seaton star is included in a 39-man training squad that will attend a performance centre session at Pennyhill Park.
Newcastle Falcons hooker Blamire has been included in previous training squads by head coach Steve Borthwick, who is yet to finalise his 33-strong squad for the World Cup in France.
The RFU are set to announce the final squad on August 7.
