U20 Six Nations home dates confirmed
England U20 Men will open their 2023 campaign against Scotland in front of a home crowd on Friday 3 February.
Alan Dickens' side will then host Italy the following Friday (10 February) before travelling to Wales (Friday 24 February) for the third round of the 2023 Championship.
They will face France on home soil (Friday 10 March) followed by a final round clash away to Ireland on a Super Sunday of games (Sunday 9 March). All matches will be broadcast on BBC. Venues and ticket sale details for all matches will be announced shortly.
"We’re pleased to lock in our playing schedule for next year’s Under-20 Six Nations and are really excited to start the tournament on English soil," said Dickens. "The opportunity for these young men to pull on an England jersey in front of a home crowd will be something they’ll forever remember.
"This is all part of the experience as our squad develops the skills that they will need in professional rugby journeys. For some of the lads this will be their first international experience, made all the more special by playing in front of local fans, their friends and their family."
