Sasha erbyn 'r Ddraig Goch!*
Sasha has made the England team for the first U20 international of the season, on 14th April at... erm... (sorry, where is it being played Sasha? RFUW not very forthcoming on this useful snipet of knowledge!).
Virtually all of the starting XV seem to be players who have represented England before so she is starting on the bench - and technically will not get her cap (do they actually give out caps, I wonder?) until she gets onto the field - but it is an achievement to get straight into the 22 for the first game of the season, especially from a squad of 36. Sasha will also have some familiar company from her touchline position - including Nat McClarnon and Lizell Heather.
*Sasha versus [well, literally "against"] the Red Dragon!

ReplyDeleteIf you're mentioning other East Region U17/18 veterans, don't forget Libby Peake (ex West Norfolk) and Sophie Russell (ex Basford).
