With the autumn internationals just around the corner, three England stars took the chance to get in some valuable kicking practice.


But for Alex Corbisiero, Freddie Burns and David Strettle, this was no ordinary training exercise; the three players were tasked with clearing the 365 metre width of the O2 in London.


Burns lined up the kick from one side, Strettle

then placed himself at the highest point on the roof ready to catch the ball

and kick it on to a waiting Corbisiero, who was on the other side anticipating

where the ball was going to land.

‘I don’t think many people out there would have a crack

at clearing The O2 with a rugby ball, but we’re not ones to be phased by any

challenge!” said prop Corbisiero.


‘With Freddie kicking things

off and Stretts taking the catch, we gave ourselves the best chance possible,

but you’ll need to watch the video to find out if we did it or not.’


England begin their autumn campaign against Australia on November 2 before clashes with Argentina and New Zealand over the following fortnight.
