Current England Open Players:
 
All Open Team players who played in the Home Nations 2009 are not required to attend the regional trials. However, you must attend the final trial on Saturday 6th March 2010. If you cannot attend this final trial you must attend another of the trials either in Nottingham or Reading. All Open players must email Teresa by 1st February 2010 to let her know your intentions (i.e. whether you want to be considered for selection and that you can attend the final trial).
 
The policy has been adopted to allow coaches and selectors more time to assess new talent at the regional trials. All Open players who played in the Home Nations 2009 will be expected to assist in running the trials therefore please include in your email to Teresa confirmation as to which trial you can assist with.
