England U18 Women name 67-Player squad for first camp of the season

The England Under-18 Women’s programme will start with a four-day camp at the University of Nottingham.

Starting on Friday 16 October and concluding on Monday 19 October, 67 players will take part in the camp. Split into forwards and backs, the group will take part in positional meetings, on-field training sessions, unit meetings, strength and conditioning work and educational workshops.

All nine of the RFU’s Player Development Group sites are included in the squad – which has been named shortly after regional training earlier in October.

Holly Bagnowiec, Zara Barringer, Scarlett Beech, Rosalyn Civil, Alice Fleming, Hannah Foley, Beth Hall, Mali Hill, Christal Koroiyadi, Eva Larkai, Isabella Lyndon, Maisie Trotman, Rowan Turney and Charlie Williams are all previously capped at U18 level.

England U18 Women will regather in December for a three-day camp at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre.

James Cooper, England U18 Women’s head coach, said: “We’re delighted to bring the squad together for the first time this season.

“The opening camp is always an exciting opportunity for players to showcase their abilities, build new connections and embrace the standards and expectations of the England pathway.

“We have a talented group of young players coming into the programme and this camp will be an important first step in their development.

“We’re looking forward to seeing the players challenge themselves, learn from the coaching team and enjoy representing England Rugby.”
