England U18 Men’s Festival Fixtures

Match day 1 (Saturday 30th March)
England v Wales (17:45 kick-off)

Match day 2 (Wednesday 3rd April)
Scotland v England (13:15 kick-off)

Match day 3 (Sunday 7th April)
England v Georgia (15:30 kick-off)

High hopes for both of Bath's inclusions - Treacey at #8 looks a good leader and a solid prospect, whilst Linegar at FH (also plays FB) is one of the best game-managers I've seen at this age grade.
Disappointed not to see Steffan Emmanuel in there
Surprised not to see Sonny Tonga'uhia in there from Saints.
Also disappointed that league winners only have 2 representatives (and that runners-up Saints only get 3), especially whilst 12th place Harlequins get 6.

No-one at all from Leicester, Bristol or Yorkshire!
Lucas Friday and Tyler Offiah with the famous daddies (Offiah is certainly interesting a lot of clubs, including Bath).

ETA: Also just noticed - only 1 hooker (unless I've missed someone / got someone very wrong).

Disappointing that Leicester haven't produced anyone worthy of inclusion. Hope our youth program hasn't started to tail off again.

FTFY

Bedford should certainly have more representation than Harlequins - on that, I think we can all agree

Yeah it is concerning. One of the visionaries that rebuilt the academy and pathway was poached by Loughborough University/some national sporting body I can't remember to. Hopefully the system isn't regressing. We could do with it churning out some backs particularly.

Much less disappointed now - apparently, he's captaining Wales, and moving to Cardiff next year (which is a new disappointment)

Do bear in mind anyone born before 1st Jan in the school year is ineligible for this tournament, which is why some have missed out from differing academies.

Ollie Davies misses out due to injury, as an aside.

It’s because Jimmy Staples plays hooker and backrow.

Didn’t he also play for Chelsea FC in the 1970s?

Ooh now you're asking. I don't know is the simple answer. Looking at pictures of the two of them (albeit Jim from back in his playing days) I'm going to say that they may well be father and son.

Scrappy game so far. Snippets of good and then mistakes galore. Giving away some serious weight in the pack. Welsh front rows are massive!

Chance to take the lead with just over ten to go.

Linegar kicks the penalty! 29 v 28 with ten to go!
