Webber
Former Pocklington junior, Rob Webber, will be looking to add to his England Saxons cap collection and push on to challenge for full international honours after being named in the England second string squad for their forthcoming internationals.
Webber, 23, has established himself as Wasps first choice hooker this season, with former England captain and British Lions prop Phil Vickery recently describing his Premiership performances for the club as "immense".
Webber made his Saxons debut against Portugal a year ago, then suffered the frustration of his second game in Ireland being called off due to friost just one minute before kick off. However, he was picked for the Saxons' Churchill Cup campaign in America in the summer, and started all three matches against Argentina, Ireland and the USA, scoring a try against the latter.
England Saxons have named a powerful squad, including a dozen full internationals, for their forthcoming games against Ireland 'A' at Bath on Januray 31 and Italy 'A' in Treviso on February 7.
