🏉 Rugby Round-Up! 🏉
England’s wing sensation, Ollie Hassell-Collins, stands firm on his choice to stay with England despite being a tempting catch for Wales. The Leicester Tigers star, who has Wales in his blood through his grandmother, had considered a team switch if doors to the England squad closed. But after his impressive stint with England A, any plans of donning the Welsh jersey are off the table for now. Hassell-Collins says he’s sticking to his guns and is confident he’s made the right call! 🇬🇧
Meanwhile, over at the Bristol Bears camp, director of rugby Pat Lam is facing tough times. After a staggering 94-33 defeat to Northampton, whispers are circulating about his role with the Bears. With two years left on his contract, Lam admits it was a night to forget. Acknowledging the Saints’ stellar performance, Lam remains hopeful, urging context on their challenges and resilience. Here’s hoping for a bounce-back next match! 🐻
