Congratulations to Julian Nunn, a talented U17 player from our club, who has earned a coveted place in the England U18 training camp.

Under the guidance of Head Coach Jonathan Pendlebury and Assistant Coach Will Parkin, the England U18 squad gears up for rigorous training across two weekends at St. George’s Park and Bisham Abbey.

17-year-old Julian, who plays Centre and Fly Half, began his rugby journey at Ballards Ash from the age of 7 as a Mini and Junior player, a journey that has led him to Beechen Cliff and Bath Academy this season. Despite his new ventures, Julian recently returned for a match with his Colts teammates at RWBRFC, signifying his enduring connection with our club.

Jeff Nunn, Julian's father, acknowledges RWBRFC's pivotal role in Julian's success, stating, "Julian's achievements stem from Royal Wootton Bassett RFC's dedication to their youth programme. Julian proudly represents the Bassett banner."
