Potential Debutants for England’s men’s team this November
#1. Hugh Tizard (Saracens)
- Age: 22
- Position: Lock
A hugely talented second rower, he made his England age-grade debut in the U19 international against Wales in 2019. He made his Quins debut against Saracens in October 2019.
An England U20s representative, Tizard made his Premiership debut for Harlequins against Northampton Saints in November 2020 and his Champions Cup debut a few weeks later against Munster.
Tizard left Twickenham Stoop to join Saracens in the summer of 2022.
DID YOU KNOW? A Liverpool fan, he also enjoys playing golf. No Country for Old Men is his favourite film and spaghetti bolognaise his go-to meal.
#2. Alex Coles (Northampton Saints)
- Age: 23
- Position: Lock/Flanker
Coles – who is capable of playing in the second or back row – has earned international recognition, featuring for England Under-16s, Under-18s, and Under-19s before starring throughout the Under-20s’ 2019 season as he represented the Red Rose in both the Six Nations and World Rugby Under-20 Championship.
During the 2021/22 season, Coles took on the captain’s armband for the first time – leading the side against London Irish and Harlequins in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
A successful campaign (in which Saints qualified for the Premiership play-offs) ended with Coles making 29 appearances and being named Breakthrough Player of the Season at the Club’s annual awards ceremony.
