Biography

Born in Truro, Will obtained a rugby scholarship to Bryanston School in Blandford Forum, Dorset, where he took A levels in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Physical Education. A second year Chemistry student at Bath University and new member of the England U20 squad this season, he played initially off the bench against Scotland in February, figured in a similar role against Wales and made his first start against Italy in Rovigo.

He played in all six England U18 matches in 2009-10, including the 43-22 win over Wales in Swansea at the end of March, and all three games in the subsequent four team tournament in South Africa. It extended a family rugby tradition; his uncle Matt Skuse was a Bristol lock in the 1980s and his father, brothers and other uncles have all played the game or are still doing so.
