Noah Caluori named in England squad for Quilter Nations Series

Teenage winger Noah Caluori has been included in the England squad for their upcoming Quilter Nations Series.

The 19-year-old featured in last week’s training squad as an additional player under a development agreement with Saracens and now takes his place in the 36-player squad for the autumn internationals.

Caluori made headlines earlier in October after scoring five tries for Saracens in their 65-14 Gallagher Premiership victory over Sale.

The squad includes 19 forwards and 17 backs, with Harlequins back rower Jack Kenningham getting a chance to earn his first England cap, and Tom Curry also in the mix.

Exciting

England kick off the series with a clash against Australia at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on November 1 and will face Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina later in the month.

England head coach Steve Borthwick said: “Selecting this squad is an exciting step in our preparations for the Quilter Nations Series and we look forward to working with the players again in the coming weeks.

“Our focus is on making the most of the time we have together as we approach what will be a fiercely-competitive series.

“Facing Australia in the opening match will be a great test against a team that has been training and playing together for some time and is one of the in-form teams in the world.”
