England Training Camp

Pennyhill Park - Bagshot - Surrey.

There is no doubt in my mind that the England players will be focused on the job in hand, that being training and set piece moves for the Rugby World Cup this Autumn! 

Never has there been so important a time for England and players alike, than now!   England Head Coach Clive Woodward will have access to his selected squad of 43 elite players for the World Cup Warm Up Matches against Wales and France (twice) and come September 8th  he will have to decide.  Who will be in the 30 man squad?

The Evening Standard reported that the country house hotel in Bagshot has just upgraded its rugby pitch to ensure the players have the best facilities possible, more information... Evening Standard

 

However, whilst that being the main task at hand, the surroundings of their training base Pennyhill Park Hotel in Bagshot, Surrey are, to say the least - beautiful!
