England Rugby June 2008 In Review. A good month for the England Juniors who reached the final of the IRB Junior Championships but were soundly beaten by New Zealand. England Saxons winning the Churchill Cup did us all proud. However, a very bad month for the England elite squad on tour in New Zealand both on and off the field

England Rugby June 2008 In Review

England Rugby in June 08!   Well we did have some things to be proud of the IRB Juniors and the Churchill Cup squad getting to the Final but losing out to New Zealand.  Which is a nice link to the 'Barbigate Affair' - The Elite squad enjoyed themselves down in New Zealand, some more than others both on and off the field.  Wink, Wink, nudge, nudge ... say no more.

 

Having taken place in the UK in 2007, this year's Churchill Cup competition will return to North America. All six of the participants have been determined: Canada , USA Eagles, England Saxons , Ireland A, Scotland A, and Argentina A replacing the New Zealand Maori, who as of 2008 participate in the Pacific Nations Cup.   Barclays Churchill Cup 2008 Press Conference
