Fraser Dingwall – Northampton Saints

A star of the England U20s level, Fraser Dingwall made 15 international appearances for the age group side. Now 24-years-old, the Northampton Saints player is eagerly anticipating his senior squad breakthrough having been on the fringes of the England squad since his first call-up in 2020. Dingwall was omitted into the group for the 2020 Six Nations, yet has not been able to make his mark at senior level for now.

The former England U20s captain, Dingwall is familiar with the honour of representing his country. He led the age-group England side out at the 2019 U20s World Championships, with England recording victories over Italy and Australia, for an overall seventh placed finish. Dingwall has been lighting it up at senior level for the Saints, and is part of a Midlands-heavy contingent added into the latest wave of Borthwick’s wider-training squad.

Dingwall has scored seven tries from the Northampton midfield this season, crossing over for key tries against Sale, Gloucester and even grabbing a hat-trick against Saracens. Averaging 75 minutes a game, Dingwall’s distribution has also seen him make six try-assists for the Saints, as the Midlands side reached the Premiership play-offs.
