England U20 32-man Elite Player Squad announced
England U20 head coach Alan Dickens has unveiled a 32-member squad for the men's Six Nations tournament that kicks-off in February.
Archie McArthur, Finn Theobald-Thomas, Lewis Chessum, Chandler Cunningham-South, Greg Fisilau, Rekeiti Ma'asi-White, Louie Johnson, and Charlie Bracken already have experience with the Under 20 squad last year.
They will be joined by Nathan Jibulu, Rob Carmichael, Josh Dingley, and Tobias Elliott, who had experience with the England Under 19 side against Italy.
“We’re very excited about the squad coming together in camp this week as we prepare for our 2023 campaign," said Dickens.
"Being selected for England at any level is a proud moment in their careers and hopefully this is the next step towards achieving their dream of playing for the senior side.
“Those who have been selected have been playing at various levels, including Premiership, Championship, BUCS Super Rugby, and National League rugby, where their academies have put in a lot of hard work.
"I’d like to thank the clubs, the coaches, and the managers for their support because their communication and collaboration has been excellent. "
England will kick-start their Six Nations campaign with a clash against Italy at Kingsholm Stadium on 10th February.
