If it is him, and it probably is, he played three games for Cambridge last season on loan, including the nail biter against Stortford. Kicked well (18 from 22). He will not let you down.

If Arden is a back, he must be good to get on Nick Easter's bench...he seems to be following South Africa's bomb squad approach.

In the absence of any news from Chinnor I presume he is the Northampton fly-half !

Thanks Fatbear (can't you apply?).
From the Sedge programme I notice the ex gloucester now Leicester hooker is also on the bench. He looked very good in the highlights I saw last season.

Mowden Park have signed tighthead prop Archie Maggs for the rest of this season. Maggs played for both Richmond and Coventry in the Championship last season and is a product of the Bath Rugby academy.

DMP have signed the 26-year-old centre Jordan Holgate, who has previously played for Jersey Reds and several clubs in his native South Africa. Due to some injuries, he might feature on Saturday against Sedgley Park. |

Great signing for DMP, probably Premiership material.

For those behind the curve like me, Nick Easter's Xmas review announced the departure of the Fridge from Chinnor (going to play in the US). Big shoes for someone to fill and a glowing reference from his boss. Under the lights v RAMS was a nice swan song.

Just read Millar-Mills a prop has been called up by Scotland. I'm pretty sure he was playing on loan at Chinnor last year. Clearly a good location to boost your international career.

Will is a dual registered player from Northampton Saints academy. he's made 4 appearances and scored 1 try so far this season, Don't think he has played for the Lions since he started against Bishops Stortford at the end of November.

Whilst on the subject of Leicester wingers I've read that Joe Browning is to leave Leicester Tigers. He scored 4 tries in a match for Chinnor, Fatbear described him as being too good for National 1 and then he disappeared off the planet (until this latest news). It will be interesting to see what he does next-hopefully not bound for the US.

He's not the only one who's disappeared off the face of the earth, no idea where he's gone to.

I love the frank views coming out of Chinnor....as will Big Eddie. A bit of player information too. In a week when former Chinnor player Elliot Millar Mills was called up to the Scotland squad and Fin Theobald Thomas , who was playing last month in National One, now playing in the Prem and European Cup it shows the quality of rugby on offer and the pathway works, one in the past that Louis Rees Zammit along with Josh Adams has turned out for Cinderford. This time last year Millar Mills playing against Taunton who featured star winger Feyi Waboso, the next time they come head to head could be the Calcutta Cup. It does seem somewhat incongruous that England are happy to select Feyi Waboso, who would almost certainly be playing for Wales had he been admitted to Cardiff University (the admissions department can't be too popular at the WRU) and Ethan Roots after half a dozen games for the Chiefs, who has played for NZ Maori and spent the 2 previous season at the Ospreys. Yet won't select players who have been through the England pathway and represented age group and full International with distinction. Through no fault of their own they were out of contract and were picked up by French teams. They now play for fantastic teams mixing with world class players and in different environments which can only benefit them as players, and why wouldn't you maximise your earning potential ? In an interview with Radio Cornwall last week Bill Sweeney said why would you not want the likes of Wasps and London Irish in the proposed Prem 2 as they are such wonderful brands? - There are probably many creditors who could think of a few million reasons why not. So if the RFU were running the FA the Corinthian Casuals would be parachuted into the Premiership and the two biggest stars, Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, would not be selected as they have the temerity to play abroad. I think it's time to scrap the rule and pick the best team, the game in England will grow because these players are playing at Galactico clubs. Edited by NeverbeentoChinnor - 26 Jan 2024 at 13:34 |
