Worcester Warriors ace Matt Mullan took his first steps to international glory for his country when he played for England Under 20s – and now you can watch the next generation of stars in action when international rugby arrives at Sixways Stadium!
England’s Under 20 team will defend their RBS Six Nations title at the home of Worcester Warriors this season.
Sixways will stage all three of England’s home internationals on Friday nights, kicking off with an opening game against Italy on February 6 at 8pm. France are the opponents on March 13 with the tournament completed by the visit of Scotland on March 20 and both these games will be shown live on SkySports.
England Under 20 coach Mark Mapletoft said: “We’re delighted to be playing our home games at Worcester this season and we hope rugby fans will turn out in force to watch us. The recent developments at Sixways make it a magnificent stadium to visit where the crowd generates a fantastic atmosphere to play in.
“It’s an exciting time to be working with young players of the quality we have in England and I’m sure spectators at our games will enjoy the athletic and attractive brand of rugby we aspire to play.”
England completed a clean sweep of Six Nations victories in 2008 before reaching the final of the IRB Junior World Championship in June. In all they won nine out of 10 games and scored 41 tries in the process.
