Danny Herriott believes he has done enough to win a place in the England under-20 rugby squad for this summer’s IRB Junior World Championship.
Although he didn’t come off the replacements’ bench in England’s 28-15 win over Wales at Colwyn Bay on Saturday, which clinched a third successive Under-20 Six Nations title, Herriott figured in England’s four other games.
That included playing for half an hour in the 52-7 win over Italy at Franklins Gardens, the home ground of his club, Northampton Saints, earlier this month.
Herriott (pictured) said: "That was the highlight of the Six Nations for me, especially as I got a couple of penalty tries after I came on."
Looking ahead to the Junior World Championship, which will be held in France in June, the former Deal & Betteshanger player said: "I have got a good chance of making the squad and hopefully I will get a bit more game time in France."
The squad will be announced in early May and by then Herriott is likely to have made a decision about his club future.
