TAUNTON will host the young men of England and Wales this coming Sunday in an Under 18 International match at Veritas Park, Taunton.

Within Taunton Rugby Club there are those with personal experience of representing their country at age group level.

Charlie Wright, who has captained Taunton Titans in recent weeks, lined up in the white of England only a few seasons ago whilst, for Assistant Coach Chris Brown, it was a few years earlier that he played for the Welsh Under-21s.

Charlie Wright, who was first capped by England at Under 16 level, was presented with his shirt by his brother Harry as family members were invited to hand over the white shirt with the red rose.

“Everyone was a bit nervous as we didn’t know one another but videos were playing of our best moments from schoolboy rugby. I was holding back the tears.”

If that hasn’t been enough to whet the appetite, you might want to consider making a day of it.

Taunton RFC is running its legendary pre-match carvery for just £15 (book now by calling 01823 336363 or emailing functions@tauntonrfc.co.uk).

The game itself is just £5 to watch with free car parking.
