June 2016 Rugby Update

This weekend just gone we took Ronnie our son to Twickenham Rugby stadium. He belongs to England Junior Rugby supporters club and was lucky enough to win a chance to train at the stadium and meet some ex and current Rugby players.

Ronnie who plays for Winscombe RFC under 7’s soon to be under 8’s met England’s, Will Greenwood 55 International Caps. Wales, Scott Quinnell 52 International Caps, and England’s Rachael Burford, 56 International Caps. We also met Ruckley the clubs Mascot.

As a family we all have a passion for Rugby and this was such a wonderful day out with so many other Rugby fans.

We all got a chance to walk on the sacred ground of Twickenham with tours of the changing rooms and museum. Ronnie was provided with a kit and even got to run out of the famous tunnel and sing the national anthem.

Ronnie had fun and enjoyed scoring a drop goal and even a try on the famous pitch! We obviously took the Winscombe RFC flag and proudly flew it on the pitch. The passion for rugby starts when youngsters first pick up a ball and the England Rugby Junior Supporters Club brings young fans closer to the team and to the sport.
