England U20s squad to face Italy: Noah Caluori returns

England travel to the Stadio Comunale di Monigo for a 19:15 GMT kick-off on Friday 6th, looking to bounce back from their 31–21 defeat to Ireland at the Recreation Ground in Round 3. The match will be shown live on BBC iPlayer.

Currently third in the table, England have recorded two wins and one loss from their opening three matches and sit six points behind leaders France. While the title may now be out of reach, Titterrell will be eager for his side to continue the strong performances that have supported the squad’s development so far — including an opening-round victory over Wales in challenging conditions.

Bath Rugby’s Connor Treacey captains the team, with Tate Williams handed his first full start at blindside flanker. Noah Caluori and Will Knight both return to the starting XV.

Jonny Weimann could make his first appearance of the season if called upon from the bench, while Freddie Ogden-Metherell is also back in the matchday 23.

England complete their campaign in Round 5 with a trip to La Rochelle, where they will face France at the Stade Marcel-Deflandre on Sunday 15 March (17:45 kick-off).
