Former Oxford junior and Magdalen College School pupil Dominic Shaw will hope to get a second start for England Students tomorrow night (8).

The 20-year-old Newcastle University scrum half is in the squad to face Ireland Colleges at Henley's Dry Leas ground.

Shaw, who was on-loan at Henley last season, impressed during England's 42-0 victory over Scottish Universities on Friday, having been a replacement in the previous game against France.

The Scotland victory included tries for Oxford University duo Peter Clarke and Toby Henry, while fellow Dark Blues prop Kevin Davis and Tom Gregory could also feature tomorrow.

  • Henley Hawks director of rugby Jason Forster admits they must win their final five games to avoid relegation from National 2.

Forster, whose side visit Southend on Saturday, said: "The lads are going to have dig deep and win the rest of their five games whilst Redruth and Southend may slip up, and even Wharfedale.

"It's a tall order, but we are certainly capable of winning these important games."

  • Chinnor Academy face two tough games in the space of five days.

On Saturday, a combined under 17 and 18 side travel to National 1 club Nottingham, while on Wednesday night the under18s host London Wasps Apprentices.

Manager Clive Davies said: "Both these fixtures are important milestones our development as it was exactly 12 months ago that the first ever Chinnor Academy game was played against Nottingham.

"Since that game the two clubs have been close allies in developing players.

"And to be able to secure a fixture against Wasps is a good indicator to illustrate just how far the Academy has come in such a short period."
