Mark McGivern and Chris Lamont have both made the final 12 in the men's squad, while captain Lynne Beattie and Jo Morgan are both in the women's team, coached by Scot Audrey Cooper.
None of the selection are a surprise, with McGivern, who won his 102nd GB cap against Belgium earlier this month, and Lamont having been with Harry Brokking's squad from the early days in 2006. Beattie and Morgan have also been integral parts of a women's side that has been self-funded for almost two years after cuts to the national programme.
