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 U19s team will play their home fixtures at NEC Harlequins' The Stoop while England U21s are based at Worcester's Sixways. The south west is home to England A who play their home fixture against Ireland at Gloucester's Kingsholm. Jim Mallinder, England U21s and National Academy coach, said: “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.” England Counties will also be in action, taking on France Amateurs in Beaune, near Lyon in France on Saturday, March 11, the day before the two countries' RBS 6 Nations clash.
