Newcastle Falcons’ Jacob Oliver and Issac Keller have both been selected in Andy Titterrell’s 26-man England U19s squad ahead of their clash with France this Saturday, March 30.

Oliver, who featured for England U20s in their victorious Six Nations campaign, starts at hooker with prop-forward Keller being named on the bench.

The fixture kicks-off at 13:00 at Doncaster Knights’ Castle Park.

England follow up this weekend’s contest with a trip to L’Aquila to take on Italy U19 Men on Saturday 6th April 2024 at the Stadio Tommaso Fattori.

“These are a unique set of fixtures which gives both coaches and supporters a flavour of the talent coming through the pathway,” Andy Titterrell stated.

“We’re fortunate enough to boast Six Nations winners within this squad already, and that’s testament to their rate of development, willing to learn and excellent work ethic. Coming off what has been an enthralling eight weeks, I’m pleased to report this group have kept excitement high within the coaching staff.

“Doncaster have been incredibly hospitable with their facilities this week and have allowed us to prepare well for what will no doubt be a compelling match this Saturday.”
