Breakthrough teenage wing Noah Caluori scored a try and caught the eye with a mazy run as England A earned a hard-fought 29-25 win over Spain in Valladolid.<\/b><\/p>\n
The game was played in wet conditions, making it difficult to produce an eye-catching performance to break into Steve Borthwick’s senior squad to play Argentina on 23 November.<\/p>\n
Caluori, 19, took advantage of a dropped ball from his chip through to score England’s first try.<\/p>\n
Having scored five tries on his first Prem start for Saracens last month, Caluori was named in England’s initial autumn internationals squad.<\/p>\n
Known for his aerial threat, Caluori also went on a mazy run to cut right through Spain’s defence and set up George Hendy – but the try was ruled out after the Saracens wing dropped the initial kick.<\/p>\n
Caluori’s star quality remains clear as he continues to develop the finer details of his game, while Northampton’s Hendy did regather a kick and finished brilliantly to push his case forward.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old, who set up Alex Mitchell’s winning try in the 2024 Premiership final, showed the bravery and physicality in the air that Borthwick likes in his wingers.<\/p>\n
Injuries have stalled Hendy’s progression but he looks like yet another back-three option to Borthwick.<\/p>\n
England A were 25-15 down but scored late tries through Bath hooker Kepu Tuipulotu and Ben Redshaw to seal the win.<\/p>\n
Henry Pollock and Fraser Dingwall both played for England A last November and are now both regulars in the senior squad, with centre Dingwall scoring a try in Saturday’s 33-19 win against New Zealand at Allianz Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
England A were defeated 31-14 by New Zealand XV in Bath last weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
