North Midlands 16-Group Schools RFU hooker George Thomas has been included in a 48-strong England development squad to prepare for the Millfield International Development Festival in Somerset in April. Thomas, a pupil at Hereford Cathedral School, missed out on inclusion in the full England squad after a training camp at Whittington Barracks. But the Millfield Festival, which will be preceded by a training weekend at Castlecroft from March 20 to 21, will give him another opportunity to impress the national selectors. Thomas is the only North Midlands player in the development squad.
