About David Strettle

David Strettle is a former English rugby union wing. Unfortunately, he came down with food poisoning along with other members of the squad, which prevented him from starting in England's 58–10 record defeat to South Africa. He won a surprise call up to the England starting XV for its 2007 Six Nations game against Ireland at Croke Park in the place of the injured Jason Robinson, and scored England's only try in the 43–13 defeat on his debut. During his time at Saracens he won two Premiership titles in 2011 and 2015. He was also a replacement as Saracens won the 2019 Premiership final.
