Quirke endured another disrupted season, accumulating just four starts across the Premiership, the Champions Cup and the Challenge Cup as Gus Warr remained as Sanderson’s front-line scrum-half.
However, having won caps against Australia and South Africa in 2021, scoring a vital try in the latter game, the 22-year-old Quirke is known to be highly rated in the England set-up. Jack van Poortvliet and Harry Randall are retained, suggesting that a group of three will contend for two touring spots, assuming that Alex Mitchell is reintegrated after the Premiership final.
The uncapped Carpenter, an England Under-20 international, receives a first senior call-up. He has established himself in the Sale back line over the past two seasons and enjoyed a prominent display against Bath, amassing 117 running metres from full-back and beating six defenders in the process.
Carpenter set up the third of Sale’s tries, taking an inside pass from Roebuck before chipping ahead for Tom O’Flaherty to score. Roebuck, who spent most of the Six Nations around the England squad, is also expected to be involved in the upcoming camp.
Daly started four of England’s Six Nations fixtures on the left wing and came off the bench in the last-gasp victory over Ireland, meaning that Borthwick will need to tweak his back three.
Max Malins and Freddie Steward join Carpenter as full-back options with Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Roebuck as possible wings. As for the front row, Marler and Cole come back to offer scrummaging stability and experience in the absence of Ellis Genge.
Borthwick will oversee a group selected from eight Premiership clubs – all of them except for finalists Bath and Northampton Saints – this week at Pennyhill Park. Next Monday, the England head coach will name his official touring party with players from Bath and Northampton available.
