London Scottish prop Lovejoy Chawatama has been selected to play for England Students this Saturday, January 24 in Lisbon against Portugal.

The 22-year-old was England Students' first choice loose-head last season and played against Portugal, France and Wales.

Lovejoy attends the University of West of England in Bristol and joined Scottish in the summer following two seasons at Bridgwater & Albion.

The former Kent under-20s prop said:  “I am really pleased and humbled to have been selected again.

“I enjoyed being part of the squad last season and hopefully we can start off with a win this weekend.”

London Scottish Director of Rugby, Mike Friday, said: “We are extremely proud and excited for Lovejoy on his selection.

“He is such a positive character around the club and training ground and continues to work hard with the senior front row union at improving his game and his conditioning with Head of Performance Tim Harper.

“I am sure he will equip himself well and contribute both at set piece, in defence and, with his carrying and handling ability, in the loose.”
