Unofficial England Rugby - August 2004 in review. Not a great deal going on this month however. The biggest breaking news this month was England's Captain Lawrence retiring.
 

August 2004 - In Review!

Quite a few things going on during this month, the RFU decided to flex their muscles with the illegal sale of tickets.

The RFU has announced that evidence has been produced, which, in the view of the governing body, shows that international match tickets allocated to a number of member clubs and individuals have been sold on to the unofficial hospitality and unauthorised markets. England RFU get tough!

*******************

Potential bad news re Phil Vickery and his back and the good news Jonny has been put back together again, running scoring points with his boot and looking good.  Shame about the haircut but that is another tale? England's Vickery & Wilkinson more on Jonny here...England's Fly Half is back

******************


England and Sale Sharks - Jason Robinson MBE - Player Profile Dossier.   Information about the player, much more than just a fact-file.    Jason is the latest England player to be added to our England Player Dossiers England's Jason Robinson

 

and then we found out Martin's got the right? Martin Johnson Privileged.   The RFU Council has unanimously endorsed privileged membership for four people who have made a substantial contribution to the game and well deserved I would say.

 

But the biggest bomb shell this month, was England's Captain Lawrence Dallaglio announcing his retirement from International Rugby scene.. England Captain beats Sir to it!  but Sir Clive will be in next month's instalment!
