Care to start for England

04 August 2011

Quins’ Danny Care will start for England against Wales this Saturday at Twickenham.

The 24 year old Harlequins Scrum-half will start in place of injured Ben Youngs, making his 31st appearance in 33 England games as a fully established member of the squad.

England take on Wales in their first World Cup warm-up match ahead of the tournament in September. After the match at Twickenham England head to Cardiff for a return fixture next weekend (13th) followed by a final preparation game against Ireland on August 27th.

The full squad can be viewed on the RRU website. Danny's performance will be followed on the Surrey Sports Park website.

A busy weekend for Harlequins sees the rest of the squad involved in the final of the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Premiership Rugby 7’s at Twickenham Stoop on Friday evening. Quins kick off proceedings at 7pm against London Wasps followed by a clash with Newcastle Falcons. Bath, Saracens or Sale Sharks await the Group A winners in the final, which Quins are hopeful of reaching.

Guildford-born Scrum half Miles Mantella’s preview ahead of the final night of the competition can be listened to via the JP Morgan Rugby 7’s Facebook page and here.
