RUGBYUL EXTERN / COMPETITII / TURNEUL CELOR 6 NATIUNI: Woodward a anuntat lotul

     Maine, lotul Angliei, cuprinzand 30 de jucatori, va incepe pregatirea meciului cu Scotia, din 2 februarie, cel de debut in Turneul celor 6 Natiuni.
     Clive Woodward, antrenorul selectionatei Angliei, a anuntat lista celor 30 de jucatori care vor participa incepand de maine, la pregatirea Turneului celor 6 Natiuni. Echipa "Trandafirului" va debuta in competitie pe 2 februarie, la Edinburgh, contra Scotiei.
     Cei mai multi jucatori (8) provin de la Leicester, echipa care este atat campioana a Europei, cat si a Angliei, cea care domina autoritar si editia din acest an a Zurich Premiership. Printre acestia figureaza si Austin Healey, care, desi a fost suspendat pentru trei meciuri de catre Rugby Football-Union (Federatia Engleza de Rugby), va putea participa la meciul cu Scotia.
     A fost chemat pentru prima data la prima echipa a Angliei fundasul Declan Danaher (London Irish), in timp ce linia a treia Lawrence Dallaglio (Wasps) nu figureaza printre cei 30, el fiind nerefacut dupa mai vechea sa accidentare. Pe de alta parte, Woodward a convocat doi jucatori foarte tineri. Si anume, pe mijlocasul la gramada Walshe (Saracens) si pe linia a treia Danaher (London Irish).
