Noah Caluori's sights are set on England debut within six months as he continues to make a name for himself in the rugby union world. The 19-year-old, currently playing for Saracens, has already caught the eye of the England coaching staff with his impressive performances in the Premiership.
The prodigious wingman believes that winning his first cap for England is just the beginning of an illustrious career, with long-term ambitions to be crowned England's best-ever winger and play for the British and Irish Lions.
This lofty goal has Caluori taking inspiration from experienced teammates such as Henry Pollock, who was part of Steve Borthwick's initial Six Nations squad last year but then found himself back in the under-20s before returning to senior team duty.
The young flyer has received praise from Owen Farrell, a former England captain and current Saracens teammate. However, Caluori acknowledges that winning a spot on the starting line-up won't come easily, particularly as he faces competition from established wingmen such as Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Tommy Freeman, Tom Roebuck, Elliot Daly, Henry Arundell, and Cadan Murley.
Despite this stiff competition, Caluori remains focused on his goal of becoming the best-ever English winger. The teenager's meteoric rise through the ranks has been swift – just 12 tries in 14 games for Saracens so far – but it is his defensive skills that he believes will set him apart.
In an effort to improve his defensive game, Caluori has taken Owen Farrell's advice on board: "Train like you always do, not just when it's cold or on a day when you haven't been selected." The message seems to be sinking in – with the 19-year-old already sharpening his defense skills as he prepares for Test duty.
Caluori's path to international stardom may be long and winding, but one thing is clear: this young wingman has the talent, dedication, and drive to become a key player in Steve Borthwick's England squad.
