BRFC academy players selected for the England Counties U18 squad

The 25 player squad was selected after a three day National Development camp at Loughborough University.

92 players representing teams from the North, Midlands, London & South East and the South West were assessed in games and training sessions before the selection was made on Monday night.

The selected players will now have a further three day camp before the squad is reduced to 24, to prepare for capped International matches against Ireland and France in April.

Jacob, 17 and Connor who is 16, are playing a year up which makes the achievement even greater.

The club wish them all the very best of luck on the next stage of their journey to represent their country.
