Three Saracens named in England team for U20 World Championship Final

James Isaacs, Olamide Sodeke and Angus Hall have been named in the England squad for the U20 World Championship Final against France in Cape Town on Friday evening.

Head Coach Mark Mapletoft said: "The last few days have been a good reminder of the hard work we have all put in to ensuring the development of this group. We are extremely proud to get to the final, but we cannot lose focus of the challenge in front of us.

“Since beating Ireland we have talked about taking even greater ownership. We have shown that in abundance in our last few games and it encapsulates what this squad is about.

"We expect nothing less come Friday. We will approach the game with the same fearlessness and resilience that has been so important to this point. We want to make our family, friends and all England supporters proud.”
