This match was understandably overshadowed by the Lions debacle.

However Andrew Higgins came on as a 64th minute replacement.

Anyone know if this match counts as England A or has he got a full cap now?

No caps I think they said in the coverage on Sky

Shame, how did he play?

(ignoring the irresistable response of "by running around the pitch on his two feet and trying to score")

I'm embarrassed to say I didn't notice - I take it he's an Old Blue??

There were a couple of people who had good games - Tom Voice looks like a name for the future, and Matt Tait can be good when he gets a chance to run...

I did see A.H. deliver a nice scoring pass to Andy Gomarsall, but it was a long weekend and things were a bit blurry by late Sunday evening....

Mr Jim Higgins??

Great bloke - sure he coached the Rugby Third team on my Grecians. A memorable season!

Oh - and he taught me Chemistry exceptionally well (I found it quite hard, and yet got a B at A-level - in the days when they were hard! Now, there's an idea for a topic!!)
