Hampshire and former Basingstoke youngster Francesca Hall has been named as blindside flanker for the England U20 Women's international against France at the Stadium Pierre Brisson in Beauvais on Saturday (1st February). 

 

Fran, shown above playing for Hampshire U18s at Winchester, holds onto her place in a squad that sees nine debutantes.

 

Fran is a product of "The Hampshire Way" and Hampshire RFU are delighted to see her continue wearing the England shirt with pride.

 

She now plays her rugby in the Women's Premiership with Richmond but started her career with Basingstoke RFC, progressing through the Hampshire ranks before moving into the higher echelons of the women's game.
