James Haskel England
Haskell played for England Sevens as well as England at the under-17, 18th, and 19th levels. He also qualified to play for Ireland and played for Wales at the under-18 level, thanks to his Welsh mother. In the 2007 Six Countries, Haskell was called into the firing line-up for the last round of the competition for Britain against Grains at the Thousand years Arena in Cardiff, where he was essential for a back column that was interestingly given by one club – Joe Worsley and Tom Rees were different players from Wasps. Despite spending the summer at England’s training camp, he was not selected for the 2007 Rugby World Cup. He was a key member of the England squad during the 2008 Six Nations tournament. During the tour of New Zealand in the summer of 2008, Haskell took part in both tests.
On July 1, 2008, Haskell was chosen by Martin Johnson for the 2008/2009 Elite Player Squad. He started against South Africa in all three autumn internationals. Haskell started every game of the 2009 Six Nations, but Tom Croft won the starting position.
Haskell returned to the England squad after his performances for Stade and Tom Croft’s injury, and he scored two tries against Wales in the first match of the 2010 Six Nations. He started every game after that. Stade requested his return to Paris for that weekend’s match against Toulouse during the Six Nations rest week. However, the RFU remained firm, and he remained in England.
Haskell was one of Stuart Lancaster’s 31 players for the Rugby World Cup in 2015, but he was benched in favor of Tom Wood when England lost in the group stage. During England’s 3–0 series victory over Australia in June 2016, Haskell was named the “man of the series.”
Before joining Wasps RFC, Haskell played rugby for Maidenhead Rugby Club, where he was a member of the Colts’ highly successful team. When Wasps won the Heineken Cup Final in 2007, he came in as a replacement. He started the following season, when Wasps won the Premiership Final in 2007–08. Haskell would join Top 14 team Stade Francais at the end of the 2008–09 season, it was announced on February 17, 2009.
Haskell was a loose forward in the game. At the conclusion of the 2010–11 season, he made the announcement that he had been let go from his contract with the Stade Francais and would instead be joining the Wasps at the beginning of the 2012–13 season. He would play for the Rams in Japan following the World Cup before pursuing a Super Rugby contract for the remainder of the season.
Haskell said he had always wanted to play in new environments and “improve and become a better player for England” when he agreed to join the Highlanders in Super Rugby in 2011. Haskell and future Scotland international John Hardie were competing for the Flanker position while Haskell was there.
He would leave Wasps at the conclusion of the 2017–18 Aviva Premiership season, it was announced in January 2018. Haskell posted an Instagram message on May 7, 2019, announcing his retirement from professional rugby.
