Ollie Chessum excels in Lions` 54-7 victory, while England U20 prepares for a challenging World Championship.

Ollie Chessum, the rising star from Leicester Tigers, made a significant impact off the bench during the British & Irish Lions` emphatic 54-7 triumph over the Western Force in Perth. Coming on for Scott Cummings in the 48th minute, Chessum faced off against his former teammates Sam Carter and Tom Horton, showcasing his resilience and skill on the international stage.

The Lions, who led 21-7 at halftime, unleashed a torrent of scoring in the second half, adding five more tries to their tally. This match is part of the Lions` much-anticipated 2025 tour of Australia, with their next challenge against the Queensland Reds looming on July 2. Chessum`s performance not only highlights his growing stature but also the depth of talent within the Lions` squad.

As the rugby world turns its attention to the 2025 World Rugby U20 Championship starting June 29 in Italy, England U20 is set to face Scotland U20 in their opening match. The young lions will be eager to make their mark in Pool A, which also includes formidable teams like South Africa and Australia.
