WORCESTER Warriors lock Will Spencer says it would be “incredible” if he gains selection for England’s summer tour to Argentina.

The 24-year-old is being backed by Warriors director of rugby Gary Gold to make the step up to international level.

Gold also believes Sixways props Nick Schonert and Val Rapava Ruskin can make the grade with England.

Spencer has been outstanding in Warriors’ last seven matches having missed the first three months of the campaign with a back problem.

England head coach Eddie Jones will be announcing his England squad on Thursday at 9.30am.

With some of England’s experienced campaigners likely to be involved with the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, Jones could give opportunities to several non-capped players.

“That (being selected for England) would be incredible if it happens,” said Spencer.

“It’s everyone’s dream to play for their country but I have not thought about it.

“When are you injured and go for so long without playing and watching matches from hospitality boxes, you just concentrate on trying to improve,

“We have two games left (for Warriors) and want to finish strongly.

“We want to make sure we are not in the same position next season.”

Spencer scored a crucial second-half try and put in a strong performance last Saturday as Warriors recorded an excellent 25-19 Aviva Premiership victory against play-off chasing Bath.

Warriors’ top-tier status for next season was then secured after Bristol crashed to a 36-21 home defeat against table-topping Wasps on Sunday.

The defeat means Bristol will finish bottom of the Premiership and face relegation unless the Championship final winners are denied promotion.

Spencer said: “We firmly believe we should not have been fighting relegation.

“The facilities at Worcester are incredible and the squad is really good.

“The Bath side we played was almost an international side and we did well against them.”

Spencer was thrilled after Warriors sealed their first win in nine outings against his former club Bath.

But Warriors made it hard for themselves in the first half after Matt Banahan waltzed through to score just before half-time to give Bath a 10-3 advantage.

“That try was a bit deflating,” said Spencer.

“We knew how much of the ball we’d had and not managed to get anything from it, while Bath got the ball and scored so easily.

“But that’s what top teams can do. As a group, we spoke under the posts that the moment had now and we needed to play our game. We believed it would come good - and it did.”

Fly-half Ryan Mills’ monster penalty on the stroke of half-time cut Bath’s lead to just four points and gave Warriors a boost.

“It was a fairly happy changing room at half-time,” said Spencer.

“It felt like we had played most of the rugby and defended really well for the vast majority.

“We knew we couldn’t switch off and let Bath run away with things.

"We felt we were the better side in the first half and went out in the second half and proved it again”
