Bath Rugby flanker Carl Fearns has been called up to the England Saxons squad to face Ireland Wolfhounds in Cork on Friday.

Fearns, whose impact as a ball-carrier was felt in Bath's tense victory against Glasgow Warriors on Sunday, replaces Tom Croft, who is promoted to the Senior squad due to Tom Wood's injury. The 25-year-old adds to the 11 Bath players already included in the Senior and Saxons squads last week.
