He did alright with us - nearly got back into the England side.

Lovely player to watch when he was on it.

So he needed a doner bone in his leg.... Indeed a miracle he is back playing at a high level.

I enjoyed watching Tower Bok play for us in his time here and was wondering why I hadn't seen his name on the Warriors team for a long while.

Nick Dolly has said he wants to play for Australia. Fair enough, he was brought up there despite having family in this area. His Grandad played for Heaton Moor.

Meanwhile it's thought that B JvRensburg, Vermeulen, Tyrone Green and other Saffers can't qualify for England on residential grounds due to appearing for the Saffers age group teams when that side was the recognised "A" team.
