England Junior squads announced

The England Junior training squads have been announced for the Boy’s 18s, Girl’s 18s and X15s categories.

Over the past couple of weeks over 130 youngsters took part in Junior Discovery Days in Manchester and Canterbury, with 90 being selected. This group will have four training sessions in April and May before the squads are named for the final training ahead of the 2017 Junior Touch Championships in Dublin.

The coaches were impressed by the standard of the skills and positive attitude shown at the Junior Discovery Days and had some hard selection decisions to make.

Congratulations to everyone who has been chosen!
