Three Cornwall-born players also represented other nations. Luke Charteris, born in Camborne, has 66 caps for Wales, while St Austell-born Andy Reed represented Scotland 18 times and also won a British Lions cap in New Zealand. Josh Matavesi, also born in Camborne, represented Fiji in the 2015 World Cup. Vickery wasn't the first Cornishman to captain the England rugby team; John Kendall-Carpenter, E K Scott, Vic Roberts and Richard Sharp were also bestowed the honour in eras gone by. Hugh Vyvyan, Roger Hosen, Brian Stevens, Martin Haag, Bert Soloman, James Davey, Arthur Wilson and Edward Jackett also represented England. Vickery and Barkley also played in England's disastrous 2005 Six Nations campaign. The Raging Bull was injured in 2006, but Truro-born winger Tom Voyce scored a try as England beat Wales in the tournament opener. Vickery went on to captain England in the 2007 Six Nations and the 2007 Rugby World Cup as they reached the final once more, losing out to South Africa.
England rugby's most famous Cornishman, Phil Vickery, was injured for that tournament but both he and Woodman would go on to feature in England's World Cup final victory over Australia eight months later. The pair also played all five games in the 2004 Six Nations, as England could only finish third. They were joined on the pitch by former Wadebridge School student Olly Barkley. It is not the first time Cornish players have featured in a Grand Slam triumph. In March 2003, former Liskeard School pupil Trevor Woodman came on as a replacement as England clinched victory in Dublin. Cowan-Dickie studied Sports Performance & Excellence at Truro College, having also attended Mounts Bay Academy. He began playing at the age of six with Penzance and Newlyn, and remained there for eight years. Nowell took a BTEC in Sport Performance and Excellence at Truro College and also did the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence programme, designed to help in aspects of being a semi/professional rugby player. He had previously attended Mounts Bay Academy in Penzance. In 2010-11, after being snapped up by Exeter Chiefs, Nowell spent a season on loan at Redruth.
