EIGHT young Rams have been picked by Berkshire Under 17s for their two games at Gloucestershire on Sunday.

Second row Harry Staples is joined by flankers Henry Cook and Teagan Strydom as part of Team Carter for the first game at Cheltenham RFC, scrum-half Elliott Jones and speedy wing Josh Gouws also part of the squad.

And a further three Rams will represent Team Wilkinson later on, Ollie Preston joined by Ryan Carr – the two-try centre who helped seal the OBB Division One title for the Colts in a thriller against Windsor – and the versatile Jordan Navetta, the latter capable of playing at fly-half or in the back three.
