Four England sides head west to Wales this weekend for the 2024 Home International Series hoping to return with top honours against our local neighbours.
Cardiff University Sports Fields is the venue for three days of elite international competition featuring the Home Nations, England, Wales and Scotland, along with some guest countries, showcasing the game across all levels.
This year’s Home Internationals features men’s and women’s senior competitions, as well as a U20 women’s competition.
England Men’s U20s will also play at the event, stepping up to face Scotland and Netherlands senior teams, the Dutch competing as an invitational side in the senior men’s competition, while Czechia will compete in the women’s seniors and Germany in the women’s U20s.
England come into the weekend as the defending champions in all of the competitions, following an undefeated Home Internationals last year on home soil in Nottingham.
There will be no shortage of action to enjoy and storylines to be created across the weekend as the nations compete not only for national bragging rights, but with World and European events on the horizon, selections for final championship squads will also be up for grabs.
England Senior Women can look forward to the European Championship in Braga in July, while the Women’s U20s have sights set on Hong Kong for the World U20 Championship in August.
The senior team competition will also be a great test for the Men’s U20s, as their youthful squad continue to gain experience in the lead up to their U20 European Championship in Poland in August and beyond, while Sam Patterson will lead his senior side in international competition for the first time since his appointment as Head Coach of the England Performance squad.
