Campion and the rest of the big guns will be keeping a close eye on the formidable John Fisher who, finally, could not resist a crack at the senior competition after their Under 15s? fantastic run to the final last season. Success at school level results in heavy commitments for young players these days in terms of representative rugby ? Fisher hooker Daniel Leek was a mainstay of England?s 18 Group team last season .
But they will be aiming to be at Twickenham next March 24 ? the finals are being staged on a Sunday because of the England versus Wales game the day before ? and open their campaign at home with a second round game against the winners of Trinity School, Croydon against Reigate Grammar School.
My team to watch from the south will be Whitgift, who can call on many of the players who won the Under 15 Cup in 1999.
