England, Scotland, and Wales all head to Nottingham next weekend for the 2023 Home Internationals series competing across Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 April in the annual international fixtures.
Nottingham University’s Riverside Sports Complex is the venue for two days of elite international competition featuring all the Home Nations sides across senior and junior competitions.
The Home Internationals features men’s and women’s senior competitions, as well as junior women’s competitions at U21 and U18 age groups.
England are the defending champions in all competitions having completed a clean sweep at the 2022 edition in Edinburgh, and are gunning to retain their titles ahead of important international competitions for a number of our squads.
There are plenty of interesting narratives to play out across the competition with World and European events on the horizon; England Senior Men and other home nations men’s teams will be fine tuning their squads for this summer’s World Championship and looking to lay down some markers in terms of their preparations.
Similarly, with a Women’s Under 21 European Championship in July, England Junior Women’s programme, headed up by Vic Alexander, will be ramping up efforts with eyes on finalising squads for the tournament and continuing to develop style and tactics for the summer.
It will also be England Senior Women’s first full field international since their memorable bronze medal win at the Women’s World Championship last June, now under the leadership of new Head Coach Mike Molster.
Below is the full competition schedule across the Senior Men (SNR M), Senior Women (SNR W), Under 21 Women (U21 W), and Under 18 Women (U18W) competitions.
