Noah Calouri targets England summer Test debut in July

Caluori was catapulted into the spotlight after scoring five tries against Sale on his full Saracens debut in October, earning an immediate call-up to Borthwick’s autumn squad and an appearance for England ‘A’ in November.

However Caluori was not involved in the Six Nations, instead featuring for England Under-20s, and admits playing full international rugby at that point may have come too soon.

On 4 July, England face South Africa in Johannesburg before playing Fiji in an ‘away’ fixture at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool a week later. They then travel to the small Argentine city of Santiago del Estero to face the Pumas on 18 July.

“Maybe the autumn or the Six Nations would have been a bit of a rush,” Caluori said.

“But I feel like I got handled well during the autumn and the Six Nations, putting me into England ‘A’ to experience that level as well as enjoying my time with the Under-20s, and going on a bit of a physical development plan was good.

“If I were to play [for England] earlier this year it would have been a rush, but now is a good time, especially experiencing this run-in with everything on the line for Saracens. It shows how [critical] every result is, and that’s similar to a Test match game.

“I’ve had some comms [with Steve Borthwick], we’ve had a chat, and I’m just focused on playing my best rugby from now until the end of the season.”

After scoring five tries in the home fixture against Sale, Caluori repeated the feat against them last month, and says he is coming to terms with being one of the most talked-about players in the league.

“I feel like the most pressure that will come on me is maybe internalised pressure,” he added.

“And I’ve dealt with that pretty well and then spoken to people to help me with it, so I can just focus on being the best team-mate and the best person on the pitch I can be.

“But I feel like I’m handling everything pretty well. I’m trying to enjoy it.”
