Kershaw and Moss in England U20s squad

Abi Kershaw and Jemima Moss have been named in the England Women U20s squad for this Saturday’s Test against France in Normandy (kick-off 5pm).

Kershaw starts at full-back, while Moss is among the replacements as England look to build on last weekend’s 38-7 victory over Scotland Futures at the Darlington Arena.

The match is the first of back-to-back fixtures against France, with England then hosting Les Bleues at Henley Hawks RFC on Saturday 2 April (kick-off 2pm). Entry to the home match will also be free.

“We are really pleased to see Abi and Jemima selected for England U20s,” said Warriors Women Director of Rugby Jo Yapp.

“Both players have worked extremely hard and it’s brilliant to see them having this opportunity.”
