Owen Farrell (Hertfordshire & St George's, Harpenden) in his second season in the England U 16 team captained the side in the opening match of the Four Nations Tournament in France. Unfortunately England went down by the narrow margin of one point, 13-12, to Wales U16s, their first defeat at this level since 2003.
England's first try came when fly half George Ford, son of the England defence coach Mike, combined with his inside centre and captain Owen Farrell who delivered a double miss pass to Edgerley who scored in the corner. Although England went on to lead 12-3 at half time, Wales fought back and a late penalty just won the match for Wales.
