Twickenham is not the only place you can watch England in action against Six Nations rivals. From next month the nation's rising stars will be be in action across the country as England's representative teams kick off their respective Six Nations campaigns. 

England's Grand Slam winning U19 team will play their home fixtures at NEC Harlequins' The Twickenham Stoop while England U21s are based at Worcester's Six Ways. The south west is home to England A who play their home fixture against Ireland at Gloucester's Kingsholm Stadium.

Said Jim Mallinder, England U21 and National Academy coach, “We are thrilled to be going to Worcester. We were well looked after last year at Northampton and the year before in Gloucester and it’s fantastic for us to continue at another great Premiership ground." 

England U19s coach Nigel Redman said, “We hope that having our home games across the A316 from Twickenham Stadium on the night before the test matches will mean that lots of England fans will come along to support the next generation of players.”
