Congratulations to all of the squad! Anyone know if any of these lads are showing exceptional promise who we should be keeping an eye out for the future?

Flanker Lawrence Adediran is pretty highly rated from what I hear. As is scrum half Jack Dickens and utility back Tom Threlfall

Prob a few others.

Is Jack Dickens the coach's son?

I believe so.

Alan Dickens certainly has a son called Jack, and the age & area he's from is right at least.

As things stand so far

North Group
Pos Team P W D L BPs Points
1 Northampton Saints 5 4 0 1 6 23
2 Sale Sharks 4 2 1 1 4 14
3 Midlands Central 4 2 0 2 4 12
4 Midlands West 4 2 1 1 1 11
5 Leicester Tigers 4 2 0 2 3 10
6 Newcastle Falcons 4 1 0 3 2 6
7 Yorkshire Academy 3 0 0 3 2 2

We have left the two midlands academies to play.

Can't get top, and if Sale get a TBP win v bottom Yorkshire today 2nd if unlikely.
But 3rd place all to play for in a very weird league setup this season with next to none continuity.
