Nick made his England representative debut for the England Saxons in the opening match of the 2008 Churchill Cup against the USA before injury shortened his tour.[4]
He played for England in their (non cap) game against the Barbarians in June 2008.[5]

He was the Director of Rugby and at Akeley Wood School in Buckinghamshire from the summer of 2010 to December 2012.
