Support Sash: dates for your diary

With the RFU/RFUW website continuing to be its usual impossible self, finding out little details like the dates for the England U20 fixtures requires a bit of lateral thought, or more to the point monitoring of US or Canadian websites.

So its partly thanks to USA Rugby (as reported - with information about the US squad - by Your Scrumhalf Connection) that we learn that the U20 Nations Cup involving England, Canada, USA (and maybe others?) will take place - probably somewhere in London - from 6th-16th July. This will be the second U20 Nations Cup - the first was in Canada last year (see here for the results) - however, this will be the first to feature a certain prop that you may know (as long as she gets into the team, of course!).

England U20s are also due to play Wales on 1st March - though unfortunately as a team we are likely to be busy elsewhere that day as it clashes with a fixture against Suffolk and a senior regional game.

(Just Sasha's luck to get selected in a year when the furthest England are due to travel is probably north London! Hopefully she'll see more exotic locales in future years!)
