Leicester Tigers young lock Calum Green has been recalled to the England under-20 squad for Friday night's showdown with Scotland at Firhill in Glasgow (7pm).

Two other Tigers, backs Sam Harrison and Andrew Forsyth, are also in a squad which shows 10 changes after the 25-10 defeat by Ireland.

Leicester Tigers Academy ran in five tries on the way to a 36-21 win over Bedford at Oval Park.

Tigers led 22-9 at half-time after tries by back-rower Huw Marsden, and wingers Gareth Clarke and Luke Veebel, together with two conversions and a penalty from fly-half Rory Lynn.

In the second half, Jethro Rawling and Clarke added further scores, both converted by Lynn, to complete a strong performance from the Tigers youngsters. Tigers Academy go to neighbours Northampton Saints on March 20 before hosting an England representative side at Welford Road on April 3 in a double-header following the senior side's Guinness Premiership match against Bath Rugby.
