Fearns called up for Saxons

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 the injured Tom Croft. The 25-year-old adds to the 11 Bath players already included in the Senior and Saxons squads last week.
