Bath's Robinson follows in father's footsteps

Oliver Robinson, the son of former England coach and flanker Andy, is one of seven players from the South West named in an England Under-18s training squad.

Openside flanker Robinson is on the books of his father's old club, Bath, and also attends Prior Park College.

He impressed when playing for the South West in last weekend's Divisional Festival at Moseley, helping his side to victory over the Midlands.

Robinson continues a proud family link with the England rugby team, which saw his father win eight full caps before succeeding Sir Clive Woodward as coach of the national side in 2004.

The other players from the South-West who are included in the squad are Robinson's Bath team-mates Tom Heathcote and Ben Mosses, Gloucestershire trio Jack Gadd, Mike Wilcox and Liam Wilkinson and Somerset's Chris Cook.

Millfield School pupil Anders Mogensen, who is on the books of Northampton Saints, is also included.

The squad are preparing for the Association Europeenne de Rugby tournament in Toulon, France.

The AER Tournament will be played from April 2 to 12 with England's opening match against Georgia on April 5.
