Despite still being only 14, the Grammar School student was this week confirmed as part of the 26-player squad after successfully completing various trial stages.

Piset, who is the son of island player Kev Smith, will now attend a training camp in Lilleshall this weekend, which is all part of the preparations for a busy summer for the squad.

There will also be away camps in Holland and Germany, where they face both of those country's international sides, as well as similar home series with Belgium, Scotland and Ulster.

It all leads to a Six Nations tournament between 16 and 23 July at a yet unconfirmed venue, which will be the culmination of an exciting season for Piset.
