This isn’t Tom’s first call up for England Under-18 squad, he was part of the Under-18 squad that toured South Africa in August 2018 which was the start of the pathway season.

April then sees the start of the Under-18 Six Nations Festival with England taking on Wales (Saturday 13 April), Ireland (Wednesday 17 April) and France (Saturday 21 April).

The festival, which is participated in by all six unions, sees each nation play three fixtures over 10 days. The teams will be hosted by Hartpury University and Hartpury College, with fixtures across three venues – Gillman’s Ground, Sixways Stadium and Kingsholm Stadium.
