Chiefs trio get England U-18s call

Exeter Chiefs youngsters Jack Maunder, Kai Little and Jack Stanley have all been named in the England Under-18s squad take on Scotland at Hamilton RFC on Sunday, March 9, kick off 12.00pm.

The game is England’s first international of the season as they build towards the annual FIRA/AER European Championship in April.

England played Scotland twice last season – winning on both occasions – but Fletcher says that Sunday’s game promises to be a tough encounter.

He said: “Playing Scotland in Scotland is always a challenge and they’ll certainly be up for it; we have trained well together and head up to Hamilton full of confidence. We are always looking for the players and the squad to perform to their potential and put the things that we have worked on in training into the game”
