Glad im not paying that bill this year!

Our youth system should be top of the bill by the time the next licenses come round.

Some excellent players in the foundation side this year and quite a few can feel hard doe by that they missed out on England rep honours.

Chris Doolan looks like a very good centre and played for the 18's last week despite not even having played a foundation game yet.

Some clubs like it, others choose not to run it but IMO it is a great stepping stone and chance for the club to look at potential players playing against their counterparts from other clubs.

No surprises that our best year at 18's saw some of the better foundation lads stepping up early and proving a hit at that level.
