Rugby fans, here’s today’s must-read update! 🏉
Firstly, English rugby wing Ollie Hassell-Collins has firmly dismissed any notion of swapping allegiances to Wales, despite his eligibility through his Welsh grandmother. At 27, after a standout performance for England A, he’s declared his heart firmly with England. The pride of wearing the Red Rose was crystal clear as he spoke about the honour of representing England, sharing insights into his recent performance and ambitions. Despite tantalising interest from Warren Gatland and the potential to switch if he wasn’t selected again, Hassell-Collins is all about England, embracing the competitive landscape with dreams of more caps.
Meanwhile, in the Welsh camp, young blood is making waves! 🌟 After a narrow defeat to England, U20s star Osian Darwin-Lewis is full of optimism. With a Saturday clash against France lined up, this energetic side is buzzing with confidence after controlling much of their Six Nations opener. The future’s bright, as they aim to convert first-half brilliance into full-game dominance. Darwin-Lewis reckons it’s small tweaks, not major changes, that are needed to unleash their full potential.
And over in Scotland, centre Huw Jones is determined to light the spark in their back-line against England after a rain-soaked, frustrating game against Italy. Despite a daunting challenge, Scotland is geared up to turn the tables, embracing each game as a fresh battle, loaded with determination after missing an opportunity to shine last weekend.
It’s an exciting time in the rugby world, so gear up and support your team! 🙌🏆
