Sedbergh captain Louie Johnson is gunning for a shot with Alan Dickens’ England U20s side next season and did his chances the world of good with a try from his own half against them while playing for Newcastle Academy in March.
Johnson was one of six Falcons called up to a development camp at the start of the England U18s cycle last September – the highest number of players selected from one Premiership academy – but has not seen any action due to travel implications arising from the pandemic.
