This game is being played today and classed as a U16 game. Congratulations to Kane Ditchfield and Olly Davies who have both been picked despite being a year younger. The only 2 players to have been picked from the U15 lot that travelled and both are on Saints Scholarships.

Lewis Galbraith and Andre Savelio will also play from our U16's.

Lewis Galbraith and Andre Saveli are both down to play France today, whereas Kane and Olly are playing Wales. Looks like two teams have been picked out of the 38 man squad.

Jake Shorrocks and Olly Gildart are both down to play in the Wales game, they're both a year younger and are both at Wigan. There's one or two glaring omissions in the squad if you ask me.

One lad to watch in my opinion is Zak Dewhirst, a Yorkshire lad who's at Warrington. Strong as an ox prop, with tremendous skills. I expect him to have a field day against Wales.

Kane told me both Jake and Olly Gildart had both not been picked for either team.

I bow to your superior knowledge then. I'm only going off the RFL website.

Anyone know how the two games went?
v Wales at Bradford and v France.

England 24 vs Wales 18 zak dewhirst mom didnt stop running at the line good tough game for the lads

England 18 vs France 19 i was told france got a drop goal with minutes to go ;-(

Jake Sharocks and Oliver Gildart never played. Both back up and it shows why I get frustrated with the set up of our country. There is a lad running about every week who is miles ahead of Jake in terms of Quality and outplayes him everytime they cone up against each other. Yet one gets 18th man for England while the superior one gets overlooked completely. It absolutely stinks.

PS. I have no relatives playing the game so I have no bias.

Hmm, who could you be talking about?

England U16's playing the second test v France at Bradford tomorrow 2:30 kick off. Watch out for the Wigan half back pairing of Hampshire and Williams.

Yeah looking forward to it ,were they not paired up in the first test ?

Ive not seen Hampshire yet with him being from Yorkshire but i was very impressed with George Williams at last years U15 scholarship games. Very good step and a decent organiser.

Interesting to note that many of the lads in the England camp are very un-happy at the fact they have not had a look in, in there originall positions. One of the lads who was released from camp is a fantastic half back from Hull who everybody believed was a shoe in for the position with Hampshire. Instead he got 15 minutes at hooker against France and is now dropped. The game is riddled with bias.

This game is classes as U16 but there is 1 U15 left in the England squad and is part of the France game (20 players have been picked but only 17 will play, they find out a hour before kick off) and that player is Kane Ditchfield a awesome talent who left Warrington scholarship for Saints this year.

Good luck lads.
