FIRST-CLASS rugby player Scott Bemand is back in the England frame after this week being called up for the national training camp at Loughborough University.

The Herefordshire-born Leicester scrum-half was brought in by head coach Andy Robinson for England's final squad sessions before a series of autumn Tests, starting against New Zealand on November 3.

Bemand was in the England squad taken to Australia in June, but did not play in either of the two defeats.
