Care is one of the five bout halves in today's roster. Photo: RFU/Dan Mullan. The 36-year-old World Cup is still alive after the grappling veteran was left on the England training team as Harry Randall and Ben Spencer were released.
Steve Borthwick was also hit by Ollie Lawrence. and Jack Walker are recovering from injuries, which means they are racing against the clock to have the first warm-up test on 5 August against Wales.
Meanwhile, as Telegraph Sport reported on Sunday, Ollie Hassel-Collins is the third player left out of the practice squad in the first week. Tommy Freeman has taken over as training moves to Brighton and players from the losing Premier League semi-finalists Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints have expanded their squad to 38.
Ben Youngs, Jack van Poortvliet and Alex Mitchell, three nines from the Six Nations tournament, join Care in the quartet of wrestling halves. As a result, Randall and Spencer drop out of school.
The forwards were supported by Dan Cole, Joe Hayes, George Martin, Courtney Lowes, David Ribbans and Lewis Ludlum, all of whom participated in training camps throughout the Six Nations.
Elsewhere in the backs, Fin Smith will join Marcus Smith as a second specialist midfielder. Fraser Dingwall and Guy Porter provide additional midfield cover in the absence of Lawrence and Dan Kelly. The latter, the specialist within the center, is completely ignored.Lawrence and Walker, who suffered knee and calf injuries respectively while training at Pennyhill Park, will reportedly be out for at least six weeks. They will remain with the installation for treatment. The best-case scenario seems to be a return ahead of the first summer break in Cardiff.
“After a great first week of training, we are looking forward to being in Brighton. «said Borthwick, who still has Saracens, Sale Sharks players to reintegrate.
“We are excited to welcome players from Northampton Saints and Leicester Tigers who can now begin to integrate into the group, and we look forward to players from Sale Sharks and Saracens joining us in two weeks.
“ Stage one our training remains focused on making sure the players are physically fit for what we need to do in the World Cup campaign. So, the training will be tough and focused. The players are up for the challenge.
«This week we will work hard again and spend time together off the pitch, which is also an important part of our preparation.»< /p>
