The match against the Baa-Baas gave aspiring England players opportunities to develop and take a step up said their Head Coach John Callard. “A lot of the players who had finished their season joined the senior squad in camp and worked with the senior coaches,” he said. “They gained from being around the senior players, the infectious nature of their determination and enthusiasm and the intensity, which they brought it to our camp “We have campaigned for this group of young players to come through and have the opportunity of playing at Twickenham and this gave the likes of Sam Hill and Henry Slade the opportunity to step up again and show what they can do. They were fantastic in the U20s set up and have done well in the Premiership when they’ve had the opportunity at Exeter. Representing England is another level for them. “Our senior coaches are not frightened of picking young talent for England, players like Jack Nowell, Jonny May and Anthony Watson.

  • DINGS CRUSADERS V CANTERBURY
    Saturday 20 th October 2012 DINGS CRUSADERS v CANTERBURY National Official League Matchday DINGS Division Programme CRUSADERS RFC 2 South www.dingscrusaders.co.uk DINGS CRUSADERS RFC Chaucer Returns Today we welcome back Canterbury RFC back to Lockleaze to resume their quest within National League Rugby. After a season away they certainly bounced back at their first attempt and have had a fairly solid start with some impressive and some not so impressive performances. But weather permitting let’s hope today Dings can carry on where they have left off after the last couple of weeks of pretty impressive performances. Last weeks away day to the Isle of Dogs was certainly worth the trip. A fine performance on the day against a struggling team, but still a test at home, meant that we came away with 5 points, for 4 tries. Not only that but all 4 tries were scored by The Ladies, and I can’t remember the last time, that happened, it was probably when Gary James had hair! The trip was complimented by the presence of a true rugby legend in Jason Leonard. Resplendent in his jeans and what I think was his gardening sweatshirt, still he’s a big bloke and has lost none of his allure. Although 3 hours in the presence of John (Dai) Davis meant he went home battered and confused. This was further compounded when I was approached by our very own Matt Hudd, who asked who was Jason Leonard and did he play a bit? I suppose it can only happen to us.
