Northampton Saints back George Hendy is determined to break into the England squad as the Nations Championship approaches. With matches against Australia, Japan, and New Zealand on the horizon, Hendy is focused on showcasing his talents.

Having played a vital role in the Saints' recent successes, including match-winning contributions in the Premiership finals in 2024 and 2026, the 24-year-old has watched teammates secure international spots while he has had to wait for his chance.

I just want to throw my hat in the ring for England and I'm really quite serious about that,

England head coach Steve Borthwick will announce a training squad soon, aiming to build on a summer that saw the team recover from a disappointing Six Nations campaign. Hendy believes his unique skill set—his ability to beat defenders and finish tries—will be crucial as he refines his game.

With guidance from both the Saints and England coaching staff, Hendy has identified areas for improvement, ensuring he remains competitive. He draws motivation from teammates like Fin Smith, Tommy Freeman, and Alex Coles, who have already made their mark on the national team.

Seeing your mates going and putting on an England shirt... makes me want it even more,

Hendy's determination is palpable as he strives to seize any opportunity that arises, stating, "I just don't want to die wondering." He continues to put in the effort, ready to face the challenges of international rugby if called upon.
