Josh Beaumont (born 24 March 1992) is a rugby union player for the Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership. He plays as a No. 8, or a lock. His debut season in the Sale Sharks jersey was uneventful as well as his second season. During his third season at the club he became a regular starter under Steve Diamond.[1] After a great season with the sharks, Beaumont was called up to the England squad to play the Barbarians in the 2015 Summer Internationals. He started the match at No. 8, in which he scored a try as Sale teammate Danny Cipriani put in a man of the match performance in a 73–12 demolition of the Barbarians side.
International career
Beaumont received his first call up to the senior England squad by new coach Eddie Jones on 13 January 2016 for the 2016 Six Nations Championship.[2]
Personal life
Beaumont is the son of former England rugby union captain Bill Beaumont. Josh studied Geography at Durham University between 2010–2013 and was part of St. Aidan's College.
