CERI Large (pictured) is one of seven new caps named in a young England squad to take on France next month.

Head coach Gary Street has picked a relatively young side sprinkled with some seasoned internationals for the tests in Marseille on November 2 and Aix-en-Provence on November 5.

England are building towards a three match series against the world champions New Zealand in November/December. The first of those matches on November 26 will be played at Twickenham with the other games at Esher RFC on November 29 and December 3.

Ceri, a former Drybrook player, now represents Worcester.

She will be joined in France by another Drybrook girl, Natasha Hunt, who plays her club rugby for Lichfield.
