Two Recent OCs Make Six Nations Squads

We are delighted to find out that two recent OCs have been included in this year’s Six Nations squads for Wales and England.

Ioan joined Clifton College in 2017 and Immanuel in 2019.

Ioan was captain of the 1st XV rugby team in his Upper Sixth year and also played for both the 1st XI football and cricket teams. Ioan went straight from school into professional rugby with the Bristol Bears, with younger brother Jac closely following in his footsteps.

Immanuel came to Clifton to not only improve his rugby but also for the academic environment. He was very focussed on doing medicine as well as rugby, and during his time at Clifton, teachers and staff ensured both passions were equally nurtured and advanced.

Director of Rugby Matt Salter says:

“It is wonderful to see two OC’s included in Six Nations squads. We are very proud of both Ioan and Immanuel and all the hard work and effort that they have put in. They were both brilliant pupils on and off the field and we are all very excited that our current pupils who have fledgling dreams of representing their country in any sport can see that, with hard work and application, it may just come true. We all have our fingers crossed for them and hope that they may pull on their international shirts when their two team meet. There will certainly be a great atmosphere at College if that happens.”

We wish you both the very best of luck in all your future endeavours, on and off the pitch!
