Croydon-based Lenny Lawrence has won a once-in-a-lifetime training session with former England captain Lawrence Dallaglio, which will take place on June 5.

The eight-year-old will join more than 100 children from across the UK having impressed coaches at the Beckenham Rughy Festival with the he core values of sportsmanship, discipline, teamwork, respect and enjoyment.

Lenny said: “I am so excitied to win the chance to go to Twickenham, especially as I’ve only started playing rugby in September.

“It will be great to meet Lawrence Dallaglio, although Jonny Wilkinson is my favourite player.”
