Trio Star As England U18 Defeat Scotland U18

Bristol Rugby Academy U18 stars Iwan Hughes, Will Capon and James Dun were all in action as England U18 defeated Scotland U18s 31-17 at Preston Grasshoppers RFC on Sunday.

Hughes started at full-back while Capon and Dunn were second half substitutes as John Fletcher’s side emerged victorious from their second match of the season, following last weekend's 43-14 win over France.
