The strength of the Academy set up at Harlequins is shown by the fact we have more players in the England U21 training squad than any other club.

The seven Quins players are: second row Tom Parker; centre/wing Hanry Barratt; centre Chris Bell; fly half Adrian Jarvis; wing Ugo Monye; centre Andy Reay and fullback Tom Williams. We could end up having a near complete Quins back line (with only a scrum half missing) as happened in the U21 RWC in 2003.
Update: of the seven Quins originally selected all made the final squad except for Tom Williams. Adrian Jarvis was Man of the Match against Italy.
