Centre Rory Hutchinson pushed his
case for World Cup inclusion with two
tries as Scotland saw off Georgia in a
bruising warm-up clash in Tbilisi
yesterday.
The England-born Northampton-
based 23-year-old, making his first
international start, impressed through-
out with his pace and movement,
scoring in each half as Gregor
Townsend’s side ran in five tries.
Scotland, who had lost heavily in
Nice against France and then turned
I
was fortunate enough to attend
the Ashes Test at Headingley last
week as a guest of the Yorkshire
president, Geoff Cope, who
happens to be an old team-mate
of mine. We came through the
youth ranks together at Yorkshire 60
years ago. What an incredible match.
The best I’ve ever seen.
Unfortunately I was there on
the Friday rather than the Sunday
when the match reached its climax
(I listened to the final overs on the
radio at a hog roast in Easingwold).
But I can still say I was there.
It might surprise some to know that
cricket, rather than rugby, was
actually my first love. I was born less
than a mile from Headingley’s gates
and I used to go to the ground
whenever I could as a small boy.
I was a pupil at Kirkstall St Stephen’s
primary school, just down the road,
and a group of maybe five or six of us
used to go and watch the cricket after
school. It was free to get in after 4pm
in those days. I can still remember the
thrill of walking up Kirkstall Lane to
the gates – playing cricket on the
boundary during breaks in play, going
home at 7pm for tea and bed ...
I mention it because I think it’s
important not to underestimate the
impact on young children of seeing
elite sport up close; of being inspired
by your heroes first hand. It’s why I’m
so pleased that England are playing
Italy in their final World Cup warm-up
match at St James’ Park next Friday.
St James’ Park is a brilliant venue,
right in the centre of Newcastle, right
in among all the bars and restaurants.
OK, the capacity is only just over
52,000 – which is a good 30,000 less
than Twickenham – but it will still
produce a brilliant atmosphere.
I was there when Scotland played
South Africa during the World Cup
and it was great.
I think it’s important that the Rugby
Football Union takes England around
the country when it can. Grounds like
St James’ Park may not generate as
much cash as Twickenham but taking
England on the road can help the game
to grow in other, indirect ways.
I cannot stress enough how
important it is that fans in the north,
particularly young fans, get to see
these games up close. Many of them
travel down to Twickenham on match
days anyway, but this will open the
door to thousands more.
I also think it’s important for the
England players and sponsors, and for
the RFU and Premiership Rugby
Limited, to see the support there is for
rugby union in the north.
Yorkshire, in particular, has such a
proud history. Historically it has
produced more England players
than any other county (one in seven
England internationals) and it still has
a significant base of players. There are
more union players in Yorkshire than
in the whole of Scotland. In fact, there
is more union played in Yorkshire than
rugby league.
Unfortunately there just aren’t the
elite “touch points” any more. In the
past, back when I was competing in
the amateur days of the game, there
was the county championship. A fine
competition. Unfortunately, the north
has been rather left behind in the
professional era, with the current
model making it difficult to challenge
the founder members’ cartel.
There is only really Newcastle in
the North-East and Sale in the North-
West who are providing those touch
points for kids. It’s not enough.
It’s vitally important that children in
the north have the opportunity to
watch the very best players up close.
You can’t be what you can’t see, as the
saying goes.
In a perfect world, I believe every
young player in the country would
have access to Premiership rugby
within a 45-minute drive. That was
the target I set for the player pathway
when I returned to Leeds in 2012.
Our goal was that every child in
Yorkshire should have a regional
development centre that would be no
more than 45 minutes away from
their home. I’m proud to say that is
now the case.
Yorkshire now has six satellite areas
and their programmes are delivered
through more than 15 clubs.
Because of the financial issues and
lack of support at Yorkshire Carnegie,
the academy is now in the safe hands
of the RFU. But Yorkshire’s academy is
still developing wonderful players.
Yorkshire had six in the England
team which won the Under-20s World
Cup in 2016. But where are they now?
All of them, bar one, is playing
Premiership rugby elsewhere.
It’s a shame. I have written about
this before but I think it’s incumbent
on the RFU and PRL to create these
influential touch points.
We all saw the impact of that
historic Test match at Headingley last
week. It was particularly special that
Ben Stokes came through the ranks in
Cumbria and Durham; that Joe Root
and Jonny Bairstow are Yorkshire
cricketers. They are local heroes;
inspirations. It’s the same with Jack
Leach at Somerset. I think I read that
he just renewed his membership at
the club.
That game will have inspired
thousands of children all over the
country. I know that first hand.
Only yesterday, my 10-year-old
grandson asked about which cricket
club he could join.
It’s difficult to overstate the impact
of such occasions. Hopefully England
rugby can help to inspire a few more
when they visit next week.
Taking England team
on the road is vital in
helping the game grow

the tables on Les Bleus at Murrayfield
in their first two World Cup warm-up
games, were expecting a huge physical
test from Georgia’s renowned pack and
head coach Townsend accepted the
challenge head on, selecting a strong
line-up to keep building momentum
towards the World Cup, which starts in
Japan next month.
With fly-half Finn Russell pulling the
strings, the visitors stormed into a 20-0
lead in as many minutes against the Six
Nations hopefuls.
Georgia, desperate to impress on
their debut as hosts of a tier one nation,
struggled to match enthusiasm with
accuracy but did cross for a try in the
second half, France-based prop Karlen
Asieshvili crashing over following a
series of forward drives.
Lock Scott Cummings, another
World Cup hopeful and who made his
debut against France earlier this
month, scored Scotland’s last try.

their 31-man squad on Tuesday, open
