England captain Chris Robshaw says he has been impressed with the effort of the players as they push for a place in the World Cup squad.
England are in the middle of a summer training camp in Denver, Colorado as they step up their preparations ahead of hosting the World Cup later this year.
A 50-man provisional squad will be whittled down to 31 players and Robshaw believes competition for places has brought extra intensity to their summer training.
“It’s been good work, the guys have put the effort in,” Robshaw told Sky Sports News HQ.
“The guys are standing up and bonding together over it, but everyone is going through similar camps aren’t they, around the world all national camps are doing things.
“We need to try and do something different and hopefully we can. As players, we know from 50 there can only be 31 that actually go of course.
“There may be injuries along the way but that’s what we are all trying to get into. We going to have some hard days training but also have a bit of relaxing and team days out and stuff like that. So it’s going to be a good balance of both.”
