Falcons pair land in SA for U20s World Cup
Newcastle Falcons pair Ben Redshaw and Oli Spencer have landed in South Africa for the World Rugby Under-20s Championship.
Redshaw (pictured above) and Spencer (below) form part of the England squad trying to win the competition for the first time since 2016, with the tournament being played throughout the Western Cape.
Saturday’s opener sees England taking on Argentina at Cape Town’s Athlone Stadium, with Redshaw and Spencer having this year helped the English to the Six Nations title.
Their recent two-match tour to Georgia saw one win and one loss leading into their South African adventure, where they will face pool games against Argentina (Sat June 29), Fiji (Thurs July 4) and South Africa (Tues July 9).
Saturday’s opener against Argentina’s Pumitas kicks off at 1pm UK time and is being shown live in the UK on RugbyPass TV.
