Am i right in thinking i dont see many of the traditional rugby schools names there?

Only Sedburgh stands out?

Couple of Hartpury and Ivybridge lads in there, does seem a little more diverse than usual though.

Is Billy Burns any relation to the Glos 10?

Younger brother, the family resemblance is strong in them...

Not much sign of Colston's and only 1 from Millfield but Hartpury, Wellington, Ivybridge etc have produced a lot of professional players.

Interesting that a few premiership sides have no representation in that team, although admittedly U18's doesnt always mean that those players are going to make it.
