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 OPFC for the next step! #PathwayBegins #Jouer

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

Our second and final fixture will be held at @warwickschool on 23/2/20 with opposition TBC! Will it be the nimble North U18 Rugby or mighty RFU -Midlands Rugby U18? Either way it’ll be a cracker! #JourneyBegins #RoadToTheRose

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 England Counties U18. All 92 boys from the 4 divisions did their clubs and families proud.

London & South East 18 Group managed to overcome a ferocious RFU -Midlands Rugby U18 team who never gave in. Final score 33-26. Many thanks to WarwickSchoolRugby for hosting us and all the parents, officials and volunteers who made the week so memorable for these boys!

We would like to congratulate the 7 London & South East 18 Group players who made it into the England Counties U18 squad. It was a very close call in numerous positions! A further 5 are named in the shadow squad. englandrugby.com/news/article/e…

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

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

The RFU - South West team pushed the London & South East 18 Group 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

Following the fixture yesterday, players from both the London & South East 18 Group and RFU - South West squads were awarded representative Caps. A proud moment for the players. #representativehonours #respect #rugby

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

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

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

An excellent performance on the pitch rounds off a great weekend at the England Rugby 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
