The two hookers replace Theo Dan (Saracens), who sustained a knee injury during Saturday’s victory over Argentina, and Jamie George (Saracens), who was called into the British and Irish Lions touring party on Saturday.

England’s summer tour concludes with a match against the USA Eagles in the United States’ capital city this Saturday, 19 July.

Oghre has represented England A and U20s, but has yet to make his Test debut, while Blamire has won seven caps, having made a try-scoring debut against the Eagles in 2021.

Blamire followed up with a hat-trick against Canada in his second cap and has scored six tries in total.

The 27-year-old joined Leicester at the end of the 2024/25 Gallagher Premiership season from Newcastle.
