London Triallists for England Community Lions Announced

60 Players to take part in London Trials for U16s & U17s England Community Lions next week

The London Broncos Foundation are pleased to announce the 60 players who will be taking part in the London & South-East Trial for the U16 and U17 England Community Lions for 2026 at Brentwood next Saturday, 28th February. Congratulations to all the players involved. Their selection is a major achievement and is based on their strong performances in the London Junior League, the Origin Series and/or the London U16s last year.


Process for Selection for England Community Lions


The England Community Lions is for all players from Community Rugby League Clubs, who are not taking part in a Super League Scholarship (U15/16) or Academy (U17/18) Programme.


The London & South-East Trial is one of several trials taking part across the Country at U16s & U17s led by England Community Lions Coaches, who will determine selection for the England Community Lions Squads.


Following this Trial, some players may be selected to take part in the “England Trial Game” in St Helens in March, alongside players who have been selected from the other Regional Trials. The final squads for the England Community Lions will be selected after the England Trial Game.


After an excellent London Junior League Season, Origin Series and London U16s Performances last year, we believe the standard of the London players is high, and wish them all the best in the trials.


England Community Lions Fixtures:


The U16 England Community Lions will play in a Home Nations Tournament against Ireland, Scotland and Wales and the U17 England Community Lions will play two matches against France, both during the summer of 2026.
