Harry Randall picked in England Six Nations squad
Harry Randall has received his first call-up into the England senior team.
The Bristol Bears scrum half has previously played for England at U20 level and is now part of England’s 28-man squad for the 2021 Six Nations.
The 23-year-old was born in England but grew up in Wales and could have played for either nation after a hugely impressive last few months in the Premiership for Bristol.

Randall also wrote himself into Bristol rugby folklore by scoring after just 15 seconds against Toulon in the European Challenge Cup final.
Randall joins fellow Bears players Ben Earl and Max Malins in Eddie Jones’ squad, with no place this time for Kyle Sinckler.
England’s first match against Scotland takes place at Twickenham on February 6. Randall could face Bears teammate Callum Sheedy in Cardiff on February 27, with the fly-half in the Wales squad.
Jones said: “This has been a really tough squad to pick and I know there are a lot of disappointed players who haven’t been selected.
“We’re really excited by the players we have got, it’s a very vibrant squad and are looking forward to getting started next week.”
