Cuckson try helps England Under-18s to victory

Warriors lock Harvey Cuckson scored a try to help England Under-18s defeat Italy 28-21 in their second match of the Six Nations Festival at Marcoussis near Paris.

Cuckson, of Ellesmere College and Mold RFC, drove over from close range five minutes into the second half for England’s third try which gave them a ten points cushion.

Cuckson, who was included in Warriors’ senior squad for the first time as an unused replacement in the Premiership Rugby Cup win at Bath two weeks ago, again started for England and played three-quarters of the match before he was replaced.

England, who have now won their first two matches in the Festival, play Scotland in their final match on Sunday.
