England manager Martin Johnson will name his 44-man squad for this summer's tour of Australia and New Zealand at 1000 BST on Tuesday.Johnson's side will play a warm-up against the Barbarians at Twickenham on 30 May before they travel down under.
Tests against Australia are set for 12 June in Perth and 19 June in Sydney.
England, who may be without injured skipper Steve Borthwick, also have two games against Australian Barbarians and one against New Zealand Maoris.
Borthwick has not have played for nearly two months because of tendinitis in his knee and his place in the squad is in doubt.
Among those being tipped for inclusion are Wasps pair Joe Simpson and Dan Ward-Smith.
Ward-Smith, who can play second row or at number eight has been in outstanding form, while scrum-half Simpson added to his burgeoning reputation by brilliantly creating a try for wing Paul Sackey in the victory at Kingston Park.
Wasps coach Tony Hanks believes Ward-Smith, who formerly played with Bristol, could have a big impact down under.
The New-Zealand born forward missed out on making his debut against Scotland at the start of the 2007 Six Nations after dislocating his kneecap against Northampton, while a broken hand meant he missed the 2008 tournament.
Hanks said: "As Shaun has said previously he is the new prototype second row. That number four jersey has been dominated by a certain Simon Shaw for a long time but Dan has been a revelation in that position. He has a pretty good try-scoring record there too.
"It says a lot when opposition coaches come up to you after a game and they say 'Jeez, that Dan-Ward Smith can play'.
"He rolls his sleeves up, he doesn't hang around out wide and he carries and carries and gets through a ton of work.
"I think he has got to be in with a great shout of making that tour and making a real impression. The decision over what jersey they give him will be the interesting one."
Harlequins wing David Strettle, who moves to Saracens this summer, is hoping for a recall as he bids to regain his place ahead of Sale's Mark Cueto.
"You would hope I'll be in the squad but I get frustrated because while selection is dictated by how you perform sometimes, especially on the wing, your game is dictated by the team you are playing for," he said.
"Cueto is one of the best backs playing for England but he has had a limited season because Sale, until recently, hadn't been spreading the ball wide. It's frustrating because you want to show what you can do.
"I have said all along that the England shirt may not have my name on the back, but if it did I would be just as good as when it did."
Danny Cipriani is unlikely to to be involved after suffering a suspected fractured thumb against Newcastle on Saturday.
The Melbourne-bound fly-half was named in the Barbarians squad to face England, and will miss that game, but was unlikely to be involved in the touring party having fallen out of favour with Johnson and his selectors.
Meanwhile, Australia are set to be without Waratahs prop Benn Robinson for the Tests against England after he fractured his right arm for the second time in a month during his side's win over the Chiefs on Saturday.
The 25-year-old will consult a specialist to determine whether surgery is required but it appears increasingly unlikely he will play no part in the Wallabies' first four Tests of the campaign, which includes the two England games as well as matches against Fiji and Ireland.This article is from the BBC News website. ?
