JAMES Tirrell made his international rugby bow on Friday night.
The 19-year-old came on after 70 minutes as a replacement for England under-20s against the Scots.
Tirrell, the former Letchworth Rugby Club first teamer who now plays for Saracens, helped England to a comfortable 31-5 victory at the Recreation Ground in Bath.
Like the senior side, it was a successful launch to England's Six Nations campaign.
England now play Italy under-21s tomorrow (Friday) night in a game which is being televised live on Sky Sports (8pm ko).
They are also playing away in Ireland (Athlone, February 23), then taking on France under-21s in another televised game at Northampton (March 9) and visiting Newport to play the Welsh a week later.
