Sandbach RUFC are delighted to report the success of Academy player George Perkins, who came off the bench to play for England Under 18’s v South Africa on Friday in Paarl, as the U18’s International Series got underway. Though the result didn’t go England’s way losing 40 v 24, Sandbach are tremendously proud of George, who has been at the club since the age of six. No doubt his father Rob Sandbach’s Ground Secretary for a number of years is equally proud, as will be his granddad Dave Perkins an Old Sandbachian player, back in the mid 60’s. George is currently in the Academy at Leicester Tigers and recently was awarded a scholarship at Denstone College, so hopefully he too can follow a well-travelled path to playing at the highest level, like several others from Sandbach RUFC before him
