Martin Johnson’s son secures Six Nations call-up ahead of campaign

The camp is aimed at helping age-grade players continue their development within a senior professional environment, as England step up preparations for the 2026 U18 Six Nations Festival, scheduled for next April.

Charlie Bray, Henry Johnson, Zac Jones and Aiden Reid return to Pendlebury’s set-up this month, while Georgia Faosiliva, Archie Guyver and Oli Hewitt have earned their first call-ups to an England U18 Men’s camp.

Johnson is the son of England legend Martin Johnson, the former captain who led England to Rugby World Cup glory in 2003 and is widely regarded as one of the country’s greatest ever forwards.

Bray and Reid are among the 17 previously capped players included in the squad for this weekend.

After the conclusion of the PREM Next Gen Academy League and the RFU ACE Boys League, England U18 Men will meet again on 25 February ahead of a preparation fixture against France at Chinnor RFC on Saturday 14 March (14:00 GMT).
