International News | Saints pair in England to open Rugby World Cup U20
Northampton Saints players Craig Wright AND Henry Pollock have been named in England U20 Men's first match of the 23rd Rugby World Cup 2024 against Argentina this weekend.
Hooker Wright and flanker Pollock are in the starting line-up as England U20 Men take on Los Pumitas this Saturday (kick-off: 1pm UK time) at Athlone Stadium, with the match available to watch live on RugbyPass TV.
Eighteen of the matchday 23 have featured for coach Mark Mapletoft in the recent U-20 Six Nations campaign, with seven of them returning for their second Rugby World Cup U20 in South Africa this summer.
Following the announcement of the U20 men's squad, Exeter Chiefs' Louie Gulley joins the squad and replaces Newcastle Falcons' Jacob Oliver in the tournament party for the remainder of the tournament.
The road side have emerged victorious in three previous meetings with Argentina at the U20 Championship, with their last meeting in 2018 seeing Ben Curry and Marcus Smith star in a 39-18 win for England.
Looking ahead to Saturday's game, Mark Mapletoft spoke of the team's anticipation of returning to the international stage at Athlone Stadium.
“The coaches and I have been encouraged by the ownership of this group in practice,” he said.
“Their impressive effort made the selection difficult and I want to congratulate them all for their work ethic and determination. We are looking to see these high standards maintained through our substitutes, who will energize the squad during what will be a thoroughly demanding opening match against Argentina.
“Our boys are eager to take the first positive step this Saturday and continue their exemplary Brotherhood performances this week in a match scenario.”
