Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter will form part of Stuart Lancaster's coaching team for England's June tour to Argentina.
Subject to Aviva Premiership placings, Tavistock-born Baxter will link up with Lancaster and attacking skills coach Mike Catt to prepare for the Killik Cup against the Barbarians at Twickenham on May 26.
Baxter, 42, has overseen the Chiefs's ascent from the RFU Championship in 2010 to a first-ever (European) Heineken Cup campaign this term after a top six finish in the Aviva Premiership last term.
Former lock forward and first team skipper Baxter - who figured in excess of 300 league and cup games for Exeter during his playing days - received the Aviva Premiership Director of Rugby award for last season's achievements, when Chiefs finished fifth in their second season in the top flight.
