London & South East 18 Group

An excellent performance on the pitch rounds off a great weekend at the @EnglandRugby U18 Divisional Festival in Warwick. All the clubs and schools that have supported the boys should be proud of the impact they’ve had on these young players! #aspiration #rugby #talentdevelopment

Following two fantastic days with the squad, tomorrow offers an opportunity to perform. This evening, we announced the squad for our first fixture against the Midlands. Congratulations to every player involved. #aspiration #rugby #talentdevelopment

We are delighted to share the London and South East U18 squad for the upcoming divisional weekend and fixtures! Congratulations to all those selected! #rugby #aspiration #talentdevelopment #schoolsrugby #englandrugby

Talk about turning defence into attack. This transition is seamless 🫶 Multiple players, having multiple impacts, leads to a great score! #englandcounties #playatpace

Following the fixture yesterday, players from both the @LSE18group and @RFUSouthWest squads were awarded representative Caps. A proud moment for the players. #representativehonours #respect #rugby

The @RFUSouthWest team pushed the @LSE18group close in this fiercely contested fixture. The whole group should be proud of their contribution across the last couple of months! We look forward to seeing where rugby will take some of these young, aspirational players! #aspiration

A combination of set-piece dominance and a well executed strike play lead to our first try of the 2023 campaign! #englandcountiesU18 #purposefulpractice

After a fantastic couple of days hosted by @broadstreetrfc and @warwickschool the LSE U18 boys get a chance to put it all into practice in their first fixture against @U18North #aspiration #development

We would like to congratulate the 7 @LSE18group players who made it into the @EngCountiesU18 squad. It was a very close call in numerous positions! A further 5 are named in the shadow squad. englandrugby.com/news/articl…

@LSE18group managed to overcome a ferocious @RFUMidlandsU18 team who never gave in. Final score 33-26. Many thanks to @WarwickRugby for hosting us and all the parents, officials and volunteers who made the week so memorable for these boys!

Apologies for the lack of updates. It’s taken us this long to recover from the excitement of what was an excellent 2nd National Development Weekend with @EngCountiesU18. All 92 boys from the 4 divisions did their clubs and families proud.

The warriors go again! This Sunday at @WarwickRugby. 13.15 Kick off against the @RFUMidlandsU18, who managed to beat the @U18North last weekend. All to play for with @EngCountiesU18 shirts up for grabs. #GasMen #OffloadingRugby

What a game! Horrendous conditions yet some great rugby on show. @LSE18group 31-7 @RFUSouthWest Well done to all on show!

Game day! Storm Dennis can’t stop these lads. 12 noon kick off vs @RFUSouthWest. Who is coming down to support? #RunningRugby #OffloadCentral

Our second and final fixture will be held at @warwickschool on 23/2/20 with opposition TBC! Will it be the nimble @U18North or mighty @RFUMidlandsU18? Either way it’ll be a cracker! #JourneyBegins #RoadToTheRose

With the squad selected, we begin to look forward to our first fixture! We play @RFUSouthWest U18s on 16/2/20 at @StourbridgeRFC. Let’s see as many of our fans there as possible! #DivisionalRugby #RoadToEngland

It was an excellent weekend for the division. Thanks to @LiRFC for hosting us out of Hazlewood for our trial. Two full squads went tooth and nail and made selection very difficult. We meet up next Sunday at @OldPaulineRugby for the next step! #PathwayBegins #Jouer
