Goodrick-Clarke named in England squad against Barbarians

London Irish is proud to confirm that Will Goodrick-Clarke has been included in the England squad to face Barbarians.

Goodrick-Clarke could sport the Rose for the first time and take to the Twickenham Stadium pitch at 3pm this Sunday (19^th June) in the uncapped meeting against Fabien Galthié’s select squad.

The 26-year-old prop forward recently put pen-to-paper on a new deal at Hazelwood and made the joint-most appearances for the Club throughout the 2021/22 season (29).

Charles Ollivon of RC Toulonnais will lead out the Barbarians team scattered in talent from the Top 14, with ex-Saracens second-row forward George Kruis.

The fixture is the first of England’s summer matches in preparation for a tour of Australia, which begins at the Optus Stadium, Perth on 2^nd July, kicking off at 10.55am BST.

The series resumes the following week on 9^th July in Brisbane at the Suncorp Stadium and concludes at Sydney Cricket Ground on the 16^th July, both kicking-off at 10.55am BST.

Eddie Jones’ squad for their tour against the Wallabies will be confirmed next week.

 

Congratulations to Will!
