Fyn Brown named for England Squad

Congratulations to Year 12 student and rugby scholar Fyn Brown, who has been selected for the South Squad for the England Rugby Under 17s Festival.

As well as playing for Shiplake, Fyn has just finished his first year at the Wasps Academy, after being selected for their Development Players Programme when he was 13.

The England Rugby Under 17s Festival takes place in Bristol from 28 February to 1 March. Fifty players have been selected from across the country with 25 making up the South Team and 25 in the North Team. The two teams will train together over the weekend, culminating in a North v South game. 

Fyn said: “It feels really good to be selected for the England South Team. Only 50 players from the whole country have been selected for the festival. 

“This is the first step towards professional rugby for all of us out of the 14 academies in the country - and seven of us are from Wasps!

“I have also been selected to play for the Wasps Academy for another year. It would be amazing if I eventually get a contract with Wasps.”
