Newcastle Falcons full-back Ben Redshaw has been named on the bench for England U20s ahead of their fixture against Georgia at Avchala Stadium on Saturday June 14 (15:00 BST kick-off).

The fixture will be streamed live on the Georgian Rugby Facebook channel. 

Gloucester-bound Redshaw started in England’s 47–14 victory over Wales at Pontypool RFC last week. Club-mate Joe Davis, who also featured in that fixture, misses out on selection this time after undergoing surgery on an arm injury.

The uncapped match against Georgia forms part of England’s preparations for the upcoming 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship in Italy. England will begin their campaign against Scotland on June 29 at the Payanini Centre in Verona.

Assistant coach Andy Titterrell said: “The team showed resolve to secure an impressive result in Pontypool, but our main takeaway was how the players united as a Brotherhood in their first game together as a squad. It was an encouraging display. 

“There’s a lot to be excited about with this group, but our focus remains on embedding our identity through high performance and cohesion on and off the field. 

“This week’s fixture offers another opportunity to implement our routines and processes ahead of a crucial month of development for a group that is already eager to impress.”
