England faces Ireland at Stellenberg High School on Monday 12 August at 12:30 BST, with the fixture being streamed live on SuperSport Schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Patrick Hogg has been confirmed as tour captain and will lead the side out from blindside flanker next week. The Durham School student, also capable in the second row, has four U18 caps and made seven appearances for Newcastle Falcons\u2019 U18 side in 2023\/24.<\/p>\n

Eight of the starting XV will win their first competitive appearances for their country, with the potential for 10 more debutants off the replacements bench for Pendlebury\u2019s group. Hogg, Jonno Balding, Tom Dye, Fraser Rawlins and James Linegar, as well as Connor Treacey, Elliot Williams and Felix Champain are the previously-capped touring members.<\/p>\n

Treacey replaces George Marsh in the touring party, slotting in at No. 8 for Matchday 1. The former u18 captain has seven u18 caps, lifted the u18 Academy League title with Bath Rugby and was recently announced as part of his club\u2019s academy intake.
\nEngland continue with fixtures against France and South Africa, with Georgia and a South Africa A side incorporated into other 2024 International Series fixtures.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Pendlebury said: \u201cComing off the back of a productive few camp meetings at the Hazelwood Centre, our approach is beginning to take shape with our young group which has been incredibly pleasing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeking to continue the relentless attitude that has been the cornerstone of our approach to getting better since our first meeting as an u17 squad at Hartpury College last season. It\u2019s been a great privilege to see the development of the boys and their willingness to get going has been impressive thus far.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players have taken a lot of inspiration from the u20 Men\u2019s group and want to make their own mark on a tour. We as a coaching group want to see our principles of Exploration and Speed implemented from minute one on Monday through the following 10 days, and most importantly, we want our boys to return home better rugby players and people as a result of these experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
