2014 England rugby union tour of New Zealand

2014 England rugby union tour of New Zealand

Rugby union test series in 2014

In June 2014, England played a three test series against New Zealand as part of the 2014 mid-year rugby union tests.[1] They played the All Blacks across the three weeks that the June International window is allocated to; 7 June–21 June, and contested the Hillary Shield, in which England has won once to New Zealand's four. The series was part of the second year of the global rugby calendar established by the International Rugby Board, which runs through to 2019.[2] In addition to the test series, England also played Super Rugby side Crusaders, in a mid-week uncapped match ahead of the third test in Hamilton.[3] They also played the Barbarians at Twickenham, for their annual meeting at the stadium before the tour.

Squads

Note: Caps and ages are to 7 June, pre first test.

England

On 26 May, Stuart Lancaster named two squads. A 23-man squad for the annual uncapped match against the Barbarians, coached by Jon Callard and Joe Lydon, and a 30-man squad for their test series against New Zealand. This squad did not feature any players from Saracens or Northampton Saints due to the 2013–14 Aviva Premiership final. Following the final, Lancaster named an additional squad to join the team ahead of the second test against New Zealand.[4]

On 27 May, prop Nathan Catt was added to the touring squad to New Zealand due to fitness concerns over other props.[5] Fraser Balmain replaced Catt for the Barbarians match.

On 2 June, Lancaster added an additional 16 players to the touring squad. 15 of which were call-ups, while 1, Kyle Sinckler, was promoted from the England XV side after the Barbarians match.[6]

On 13 June, Michael Paterson was added to the touring squad to cover the second row ahead of the uncapped match against the Crusaders.[7]

Note: Flags indicate national union for the club/province as defined by World Rugby.
