TADLEY'S Abbie Parsons will captain England Under-20s when they take on their French counterparts at Esher RFC on Saturday (2pm).

The former Aldermaston RFC prop will lead her country out for the first time as they look to avenge a 25-0 defeat they suffered in France earlier this month.

Parsons was named as a replacement for that game and her inclusion is one of several changes made by head coach Jo Yapp. Another Tadley player, Devon Holt, has retained her place in the team, moving from scum-half to the wing.
