“The coaches worked hard over the weekend and the squad responded magnificently working very well despite the fact that a lot of the boys had been involved at Rosslyn Park Sevens for most of the previous week,” said John Porter-Griffiths, England Under 18 Clubs and Schools team manager.

“We played Bedford Academy Under 19s as the final part of our first training weekend and the squad certainly did what was requested by the Coaches with an intense and physical performance to record a 38-17 victory.”
