Who is Anthony Watson?

Anthony Watson is an English rugby union player who plays at wing and fullback for Bath Rugby in the Aviva Premiership. He played for England in the U20'S 6 Nations Championship in January/February at the age of 17. He finished as the tournament's second top try scorer behind London Irish team mate, Marland Yarde, where the two formed a lethal combination in the England back three. He made his debut against Newcastle Falcons and became the youngest player ever to appear for his first club, London Irish in a Premiership match. He scored his first tries for the club in their victory over Stade Montois on 20 October 2012.

He attended St George's College, Weybridge in Surrey, where as a full-back, he was vice-captain of rugby.

On 25 April 2013 it was announced that Watson was to move with fellow London Irish academy product David Sisi to Bath next season.

At the age of just 19, after a string of impressive performances for Bath at full-back, Watson was called into the England squad to train with them before their autumn international against Argentina on 9 November 2013.

On 9 January 2014 Watson was named in the England's 35 man squad for the 2014 Six Nations competition after his impressive performances for Bath Rugby this season.
