First England men's U20 team of 2023 announced
- 1737
To give all players an opportunity on the field, a different line-up will each play one half of the match. Lewis Chessum, capped nine times with England men’s U20, will captain the first-half team, with Rekeiti Ma’asi-White taking over the role in the second half.
Speaking ahead of the game, England men’s U20 head coach, Alan Dickens, said: “We’ve had a good week of preparation in camp, which helped bring the group together and kick started our Six Nations preparation. Training has gone really well and the commitment and mindset from the players has been fantastic.
“The game against Oxford University will be an excellent opportunity for us to put in to practice our work in training and assess how well the lads are working as a group. It’s a great way for us to prepare for our opening game in the Six Nations against Scotland at Twickenham Stoop.”
