Kent County RFU is delighted to congratulate Noah Caluori (Blackheath RFC), Olamide Sodeke (Blackheath RFC), and Angus Hall (Sevenoaks RFC) on their selection for the England Men’s A squad to face the All Blacks XV.

The 30-player matchweek squad has been named ahead of the fixture at The Recreation Ground, Bath, on Saturday 8 November (13:15 GMT kick-off).

All three players have strong connections to the Kent rugby pathway.

• Noah Caluori, of Blackheath FC and now Saracens was part of the England U20 Elite Player Squad, continues his rapid rise following an impressive 2024 season.
• Olamide Sodeke, also of Blackheath FC and Saracens, was a key member of England’s 2024 World Rugby U20 Championship-winning squad.
• Angus Hall of Sevenoaks RFC and Saracens earns deserved recognition for his continued development and standout performances in England’s 2024 World Rugby U20 Championship-winning squad.

Speaking on the announcement, Mark Mapletoft, England Men’s A head coach and Head of Men’s Player Pathways, said:

“We have assembled a dynamic young group of players aiming to excel whilst wearing the rose. I’d like to congratulate all selected players and staff involved.”

Kent County RFU is immensely proud of these players’ achievements and wishes them every success as they represent both their clubs and county on the national stage.

Congratulations, Noah, and Angus and Olamide!
