England Saxons v Ireland Wolfhounds preview

Anthony Watson will make his international debut on Saturday after being named on the wing for the England Saxons as they face the Irish Wolfhounds at Kingsholm.
The Bath flyer, 19, was temporarily released from England's RBS 6 Nations squad last night in order to give him senior international experience on the wing.
The side will be lead by Northampton flanker Calum Clark who also earns his first Saxons appearance.
Six others in the starting line-up are making their debuts at this level with Exeter duo Sam Hill and Dave Ewers, Northampton prop Alex Waller, Harlequins duo Charlie Matthews and Luke Wallace all named in the starting line-up.
With eight caps between them, London Wasps scrum-half Joe Simpson, Gloucester fly-half Burns and wing Charlie Sharples are the only full internationals in the starting line-up.
“Calum Clark has been a positive influence from the moment he arrived in camp, he commands the respect of the group and I'm sure he will lead from the front,” said Joe Lydon, RFU Head of International Player Development.
“Freddie Burns has also made an outstanding contribution in the time he's been with us and he will be vice-captain at Kingsholm.
“The players in this squad have worked very hard in a short week and there will be a lot of tremendous talent from the Aviva Premiership on show this Saturday and against Scotland A in Glasgow on Friday week. They've been helped by an outstanding contribution from the staff and  coaches led by Jon Callard, Simon Hardy and Paul Gustard.
“Players can make an immediate step from the Saxons into the senior side but we're also looking at the development of those players with the longer term potential to push for places in England's World Cup squads in 2015, 2019 and beyond.
“First and foremost, though, we want to win against the Wolfhounds and Scotland A. The recent history of these games tells us it will be hard work against two fiercely competitive teams.”
Meanwhile, Leinster flanker Rhys Ruddock will lead the Ireland Wolfhounds from blindside with Munsterman Tommy O'Donnell and the impressive Robin Copeland alongside him.
Leinster's Isaac Boss and Ian Madigan pair up at half-back with Craig Gilroy, Fergus McFadden and Felix Jones providing the pace out wide.
The front row sees Munster, Ulster and Leinster combine in the shape of David Kilcoyne, Rob Herring and Martin Moore. The engine room is an all-Ulster affair with Iain Henderson and Dan Tuohy named in the second row.
On the bench, Richardt Strauss and Simon Zebo continue their return to action following long term injuries.
