The England young guns will be coached by Saracens and former England Women A Coach Amanda Bennett with ex-Northampton, Bedford and London Welsh lock Steve Halsey as Assistant Coach.
The England U20s will play France on February 27th as part of ‘Super Sunday’, which sees Women’s Rugby World Cup finalists, England, and the England Under 20s men in action at Worcester’s Sixways Stadium. England U20s will also play Scotland in March and compete in the U20s Nations Cup next summer.
Tom Stokes, the RFUW’s Player Development Manager, said: “There is a lot of talent and more importantly a huge amount of potential amongst this group of players. We are all looking forward to working with them over an exciting and challenging training and playing programme this season.
“The selection of three U20s players from last season into the Senior England Elite Squad along with a number of former U20s players who have progressed into the Senior Squad this season, demonstrates the important function the U20s programme plays in the development of the players. However for this group of players, the hard work starts now. This is just another step on their journey to becoming world class players and representing the senior England squad in the future.”
