Paice and Robson are injury cover for Northampton Saints players Dylan Hartley (knee) and Courtney Lawes (knee), who have both come into the camp to be assessed by the England medical team.

Darwin born Paice first played for England Saxons in 2008 when he played against Ireland A and he made his senior debut in the 2008 summer tour of New Zealand.

Robson played for England at both Under 16 and Under 18 level and made his first appearance for Quins in the Zurich A League during 2005. He then made his First XV debut for Quins on 18 February 2006, when he came off the bench in the 52–12 win against Coventry at the Stoop.

Robson spent a month at the Natal Sharks Academy at Durban during the summer of 2005.
