About

The only player to have played on 4 continents, James Haskell burst on to the rugby scene when he was selected to play for England U18's while he was still a school boy. A year later he was selected for the England U21's and became the only player to play all 20 games for the age group, two years running.

In 2006 James was selected to play for the England Sevens team in the IRB World Sevens Series in Dubai. A year later, and still only 21, James was selected for the senior England side and gained his first England start in the Six Nations against Wales at the Millennium Stadium. His versatility and ability to play in every position across the back row soon resulted in James becoming a key player in the England set up. James was a member of the 2011 World Cup squad in New Zealand and has gone on to be capped by his country 43 times so far – making him the second highest capped player.

James Haskell spent seven years at Wasps before he moved to France for two years to play for Stade Francais in 2009. After the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand James spent time playing for Japanese side the Ricoh Black Rams, before gaining a contract for the rest of the season with Super 15s side Otago Highlanders. In the summer of 2012 James moved back to England and signed a 3 year contract to re-join Wasps.

At 6'4”, James Haskell is a massive fan of MMA fighting and is a very keen shooter.
