Reminder: No training until January

Just a reminder that there will be no training or game now until Thursday 3rd January. This allows us to take full advantage of tomorrow's cancellation and ensure that everyone will be as fit as possible for the second half of the season.

However, before then potentially five of our girls (ie. Charley, Hayley, Jess Katie and Laura) will be in action for Hertfordshire against Canada U19s at Welwyn on the 29th (checkout the Herts Blog for details). I am sure that they would welcome some familar faces on the touchline cheering them on - or provide them with warm drinks and conversation if they are bench-warming.

Finally, if you are feeling rugby withdrawl symptoms this weekend you can watch England's international with the USA this afternoon. They are playing at London Irish this year instead of OAs, but you can watch the match LIVE on www.247.tv (2.30 kick-off)- £2.50 you can watch the match live, to replay a match costs £1.

The match is England’s first international of the season since the Grand Slam last March and the first under new Head Coach Gary Street. England last played the Eagles in the 2006 IRB Rugby World Cup and won 18-0 - but I'd expect rather more tries this time.
