Stadiums confirmed for England's under-20s home matches in the 2020 Six Nations
After
a disappointing campaign in 2019, the England under-20 rugby side will
be hoping for a much better showing in 2020 and the venues for their Six Nations campaign have now been confirmed.
The
age-grade side has led the way in taking England games away from
Twickenham and London in recent seasons, playing in cities such as
Brighton and Newcastle, something which the senior side replicated
recently when they took on Italy at St James’ Park.
Earlier this year, the side hosted games in Exeter, Bedford and Northampton on their way to finishing third in the championship.
In
2020, Franklin’s Gardens in Northampton will again host an under-20 Six
Nations game, whilst Kingsholm in Gloucester has also been added to the
roster. England will take on Ireland in Northampton before welcoming
Wales to Gloucester. Both fixtures will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.
England’s
other fixtures in the competition see England travel to Grenoble and
Edinburgh initially to take on France and Scotland respectively, before
finishing up in Verona against Italy.
