Falcons On The Bench

By Ridley Hall
June 18 2002

Both Hugh Vyvyan and Dave Walder have to settle for a place on the bench in the England Test side to take on Argentina on Saturday night. Its a double blow as this is very much a makeshift English side with hardly a household name in sight.

It even has Tim Stimpson on the wing. Say no more.

Replacements: M Regan (Bath), T Woodman (Gloucester), H Vyvyan (Newcastle), A Balding (Leicester), N Walshe (Sale), D Walder (Newcastle), K Sorrell (Saracens).
