Look: England rugby coach puts Nuneaton players through their paces

England rugby coach Andy Farrell put 30 amateur players through their paces in a special training session in Nuneaton.

Manor Park RFC earned the services of the former Wigan Warriors rugby league legend after winning an RFU competition from among 600 entrants.

Farrell carried out a series of drills while the RFU communications team interviewed players and members of the club’s committee.

“It was a memorable day in the history of Manor Park,” said club spokesman Bobby Bridge.

“We had people on the sidelines who have been involved with this club for more than 40 years and they were so proud.

“What made it all the more special was the fact he was adopting training techniques he uses with the England Elite squad, and the lads were buzzing from the experience.”

The club is looking for a new coach. Anyone interested can email manorparkrfc@hotmail.co.uk
