OT: Will Goodrick-Clarke off to Irish?
« on: January 25, 2019, 09:12:48 AM »
Who you say? TBF, I taught him, and his brother Olly, a few years back. A fit, fast and fair size unit he was even then. He now plays TH prop for Richmond (and has scored for them and got at least one MOTM - quite unusual for a prop), but lived in Blockley (and has two other brothers - poor mum had three boys!!). She has added London Irish to her Twitter account now as well! I think the other two boys were Olly and Jamie, from memory.

Do we need any tightheads? He also happens to be very articulate and intelligent (not that I am saying props are not always so, hehe). He was also in Gloucester Academy in his early days, who recruited him from Stow rugby club (a good club with quite a few lads who ended up in that academy).

Blockley is only 45 minutes drive to the Old Leamingtonians ground, ten minutes further to Broadstreet.

An interview with him here:

And I see he will be playing alongside Callum Sirker tomorrow for Richmond in the Doncaster Knights v Richmond game tomorrow at 2:30pm.

Another of our academy lads on loan to a Championship side (Richmond was where he - Callum - was as a lad 8 years ago as a teenager)?
