With Sky TV presenter, Angela Powers presenting the trophies and former RFL Media man, David Howes keeping the whole event running smoothly, the packed audience appeared to thoroughly enjoy their evening.

  • Bennett Demands Improvement for a Must Win Australia Clash
    Sports FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2016 Daly to make first starts for England BAGSHOT: Elliot Daly will make his first start for England, after five appearances off the bench, as he was named at outside centre for tomorrow’s clash with South Africa at Twickenham. The Wasps man received the nod ahead of regular 13 Jonathan Joseph, who has been battling a groin injury but is named among the replacements. Flanker Tom Wood, dis- missed by coach Eddie Jones a year ago as “distinctly average” and flying winger Jonny May, who suffered a serious knee injury in December, make their first appearances since the World Cup as Jones was forced into a raft of changes due to injuries. Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes will lock the scrum in the absence of Mario Itoje and George Kruis while Marland Yarde is back on the left wing. An uncapped trio of prop Kyle Sinckler, number eight Nathan Hughes and centre Ben Te’o were named among the replacements. “With a few influential players not available for selection this is a great opportunity for some of the new faces to put both feet forward,” Jones said. “I’m also pleased to see a number of returning players get their chance on Saturday, most notably Jonny May after his long injury rehabilitation and Joe Marler, whose attitude and application to training these last two weeks has been first- class.” Daly is the most eye-catching selection, not least because Joseph has performed so well as first choice in every one of Jones’ nine games - and nine wins.
