Georgie Rozario, who has been part of the 26 strong England squad in Canada, has come on from the bench against USA and France last week. This brings her total caps to 14 and is expecting that Head Coach Gary Street will reward her performance with a start against South Africa on Wednesday.  

Georgie picks up 2 more caps in Canada.

Plymouth Albion's scrum-half Georgie Rozario, who has been part of the 26 strong England squad in Canada, has come on from the bench against USA and France this week.  This brings her total caps to 14 and is expecting that Head Coach Gary Street will reward her performance with a start against South Africa on Wednesday. If selected to start this will be her 2nd start with a full England shirt, the first being against Ireland in this season's RBS 6 Nations.

England beat USA  6 tries to 1 (36-7) and followed that with a 7 to 1 (43-8) win on Thursday against France. On both occasions Rozario came on mid way through the second half helping the side consolidate the wins. 

Rozario accepts that she is lacking in match time at this early point in the season but is hoping that this, her first England tour, will put her into contention for a place against World Cup Winners New Zealand in the autumn when they visit Twickenham.

England go on to play South Africa at 9:30pm BST on Wednesday. Whilst South Africa have been doing well in the 7's circuit they are not so strong in the full format game. Georgie is expecting them to move the ball fast but England will be working to counter this with their strong game plans.

The campaign concludes against the hosts at 10pm on Saturday. Both matches are being streamed on the internet at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-rugby .

Georgie does well in Canada

Excellant, Georgie, well done.

More memorabilia for the Clubhouse ?? To appropriately reflect our England Internation status.

And carrying that thort a tad further, a couple of Canadian and South Islands shirts wouldn't come amiss methinks.
