Gravesend Rugby Club are proud to announce that head coach, Chris Wilkins, has been asked to join the England Counties set up, as forwards coach, for the current round of international matches.

This is a terrific honour and opportunity for Chris as he builds his coaching credentials. As well as coaching the Gravesend senior squad, Chris is also Head of Rugby at Whitgift School and has coached the Kent Senior squad for a number of seasons, including a winning visit to Twickenham.

There is an opportunity to see Chris carrying out his England coaching duties this Friday 11th March when England Counties play France Federale at Blackheath RFC. Kick off is 7.30 p.m with entry £10 on gate (£6 in advance) and accompanied U16's free.

It would be good to see some of you there to provide some support for Chris and England ahead of the big one against Wales on Saturday.
