Luke Cowan-Dickie
Truro-born Luke Cowan-Dickie studied Sports Performance & Excellence at Truro College, having previously attended Mount’s Bay School. He developed his game while on loan from the Exeter Chiefs at Plymouth Albion. A former prop at England age grade levels, Cowan-Dickie was a member of England’s 39-strong training squad for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and made his Test debut against France at Twickenham Stadium soon afterwards. He won his second cap against Wales in March 2016 and played the final 12 minutes of the 2016 Grand Slam-clinching win over France in Paris and was part of the England squad that reached the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. He returned from injury to play in three of the 2024 Autumn Nations Series matches and was recently named in Borthwick’s squad ahead of the Guinness Men’s Six Nations 2025.
