Jan 9 2009 By Jill Menghetti

The U16 rugby Divisional Festival has been switched from Broadstreet RFC to Moseley's 3G all-weather pitch to take account of the current cold snap in the area.

Great Missenden's Tom Wallace and the rest of the brightest young talent from around England are playing in front of the national selectors including new U16 head coach, Phil Stanlake and it is a crucial stage as England Under 16 build towards the annual Four Nations Tournament in Wales.

Wallace is in the South West squad who today, Friday January 9, play the Midlands.

On Sunday, January 11, they meet London & South East.

England U16 will face Wales, France and Italy in the Four Nations which runs April 6-16.
